This file provides a completion source for Auto-Complete: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoComplete It is derived from the excellent ac-python by Chris Poole, downloadable from http://chrispoole.com/downloads/ac-python.el

Keywords: vc tools

Package: ac-python-async

Package-Requires: ((deferred "20150309.2052"))

Setup Auto-Complete in the usual fashion, and make sure it gets loaded for python buffers. Then, place this file in your load-path, and add

(require 'ac-python-async)

to your .emacs file (after loading Auto-Complete).

Improves upon the original ac-python by evaluating the auto-complete string asynchronously, using the deferred library to run the completion in a separate emacs process. This substantially reduces lag as the editor constantly attempts auto-complete as the cursor moves around the buffer.

Python symbols will be completed by Auto-Complete, once Emacs learns about these symbols. This is the short-coming of the plugin, but it's a small price to pay.

To teach Emacs about symbols in imported modules, Emacs needs to execute the Python source. This can be accomplished with python-send-buffer for example, often bound to C-c C-c. If a python process is already running, this is essentially instantaneous.
