Have a global variable of type list: __my_global_list = list() Access this variable later inside a class... After the dot, code completion shows "netbeans cannot figure out type of this variable" class Test: def add(value): global __my_global_list __my_global_list. Code completion doesn't recognize if a built-in type was set to a variable and so this variable (say better "object") are now of this type. (I tested this also with pydev where its working correctly and also shown with the correct type "list" in the info popup)
Completion is being reworked for the new release planed in August. Not sure it is still relevant with the current version. Closing this as old bug.
Thanks for your evaluation Julien. Reporter, if you think your issue is still valid and needs to be addressed, don't hesitate to reopen it with additional information. Closing for now.
