Python Variable Auto Completion

Question

I have the same question as a previous poster: https://community.smartbear.com/t5/Desktop-Testing/Python-and-IDE-auto-complete/m-p/104937/highlight/true#M3717&nbsp;I'm switching from a JavaScript project to a Python project and there's one feature that I really miss.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;var aLongVariableName = Sys.Process("chrome");
aLoIf I were to type this into a TestComplete javascript project the IDE would suggest the name of the variable before I finished typing it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;anotherLongVariableName = Sys.Process("chrome")
anoIf I were to write the above code in Python, I would not be offered the name of the previously defined variable. Does the python IDE just not have this functionality, or perhaps if I declare it a special way I could get my auto completion back?&nbsp;

Hi,
&nbsp;
Unfortunately, in TestComplete IDE auto-completion for python works only if variable was declared or imported on the top level of the module:
&nbsp;
from some_module import variable1

variable2 = 222

class A:
    def __init__(self):
        self.variable3 = 333

def foo():
    variable4 = 444

'''
Auto completion will work only for variable1 and variable2
'''
You can create the feature request for this case.
