Is there a way to exclude parameters being autocompleted in IntelliSense?
I have used IntelliJ before, and I recently switched over to VS Code. Upon switching and installing IntelliSense, I have had issues with some of the autocompletes. For example, on tab completion of the print function, I would just expect it to complete as:
print()
but it instead completes as:
print(sep=..., end=..., file=..., flush=...)
Only for some functions does the autocomplete include the parameter suggestions, and not for other, and I cant seem to figure out why. I tried looking through the settings but without much luck. Any help?

In RStudio, function variables, parameters or arguments are displayed by pressing tab.
While VSCode has a lot of features, I cannot find a similar one for Python.
I found a way for VSCode to show me the definition of the function while hovering in the function itself, but there are no autocompletion for the actual variables of that function (nor suggestions while writing). Besides, the tooltips close itself as soon as I start typing the variables.
Is there a way to get something more similar regarding autocompletion and suggestion of function variables in VSCode while using Python?
Thanks.
According to your description, it is recommended that you use the extension "Pylance", which provides outstanding language service functions.
Its 'Docstrings' and 'auto-completion' functions show us the function parameters and will not close the prompt when inputting:

How can I call a python function from an advanced scripting voice command in Dragon NaturallySpeaking?
I don't want to use a third-party application such as dragonfly or NatLink (paper).
So, one way is to compile it. You can put a bunch of functions that do different things all into the same program and pass along appropriate arguments to select the function you want, and pass the parameters along. Returning the result can be tricky, though, but I usually use the Clipboard (so copy the py output to clip and read from clip in Dragon). Multi-word params need to have spaces escaped (%20) and process it inside your py.
Something like this:
ShellExecute "path\program.exe myFunc myPar1, my%20Par%202", 6 ' 6 runs minimized
Wait 1
myVar = Clipboard
Hth,
Warning: This is not an answer. I am not a programmer. I don't know any Python and have no way of testing it.
This is just a suggestion on how to solve this problem. I don't know where else to put this. I'd put it in a comment, but it allows no screenshots. Please edit and suggest as you wish.
There is answer on SO that deals with calling Python from Excel, which is a similar concept: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3569988/2101890. I am trying to use that here but don't know how.
When using commands in another programming language, you can sometimes add them by adding a reference in the MyCommands Editor. You can reference DLLs and other "stuff". Some references to libraries appear automatically. I've installed Python and hoped to find Python in the References, but no such luck:
There is no Python entry here that I can find. You may have better luck. If you do find something, check the box and see if you can add python commands without causing an error when saving the command.
Maybe you can browse to %localappdata%\Programs\Python\Python36\ and add some of the DLLs from there and call Python commands from there. Or try getting it to work in the way described under 1.
I am learning python using IPython. When I did something nice I like to copy this into some kind of private CheatSheet-file. Therefore I use the iPython %hist command. I am wondering, if there is a way to only print those commands which had been syntactically correct and did not raise an error. Any ideas?
Have you considered trying ipython notebook ? (I've used it on a couple of training courses)
You access the interatctive python via a web browser creating 'boxes' of runnable code. So if you ran a block, it gave the answer you wanted and threw no errors, you could then create another block and move on (preserving the bit you wished to keep). If it threw an error or didn't produce the expected result, you could edit and re-run until it did.
Your boxes of code can be interspersed with html markup notes, graphs, diagrams - you name it.
The whole notebook can then be saved for later access and re-run when re-loaded.
When typing the following code into the editor window, only some of the available items for autocomplete show up. That is to say that it should show .loc as an option but doesn't.
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('somecsvfile.csv')
df.
code completion in editor window
When using the console in PyCharm with the same code, the full list shows up. (See the attached images)
code completion with the full list
I have invalidated caches and restarted. Further, it seems like another recommendation was to turn on Python Debugger -> Collect run-time types information for code insight. I did that as well and still nothing when in the editor window.
What really confuses me is that the code completion works in the console, but not the editor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
When you run it in the console it knows the type of df because it actually has it right there. It can even run dir(df) to know exactly what names are available. In the editor it isn't running the code so it has to guess the type by inspecting pd.read_csv which is much harder (often even impossible) because Python is so dynamic.
I used to have this same problem. This was only happening for me in Linux. Note that this is possible and actually standard behavior in windows, so it can be done. Not sure if it is done using static analysis or a similar method.
I have since been able to fix it, I think what did it was defining the correct interpreter not only in the running/debugging configuration, but also in the defaults of the project (check File-->settings-->Project Interpreter and File-->default settings-->Project Interpreter)
I have now moved to the next problem, which is that auto-complete works for Python Console and File editing, but weirdly enough does not work for Debugging!...
I'm noticing that even for system modules, code completion doesn't work too well.
For example, if I have a simple file that does:
import re
p = re.compile(pattern)
m = p.search(line)
If I type p., I don't get completion for methods I'd expect to see (I don't see search() for example, but I do see others, such as func_closure(), func_code()).
If I type m., I don't get any completion what so ever (I'd expect .groups(), in this case).
This doesn't seem to affect all modules.. Has any one seen this behaviour and knows how to correct it?
I'm running Vim 7.2 on WinXP, with the latest pythoncomplete.vim from vim.org (0.9), running python 2.6.2.
Completion for this kind of things is tricky, because it would need to execute the actual code to work.
For example p.search() could return None or a MatchObject, depending on the data that is passed to it.
This is why omni-completion does not work here, and probably never will. It works for things that can be statically determined, for example a module's contents.
I never got the builtin omnicomplete to work for any languages. I had the most success with pysmell (which seems to have been updated slightly more recently on github than in the official repo). I still didn't find it to be reliable enough to use consistently but I can't remember exactly why.
I've resorted to building an extensive set of snipMate snippets for my primary libraries and using the default tab completion to supplement.
