Python Tools for Visual Studio ??? Beta2: Intellisense

[MarcHoogerwerf]

Hi there,

Is there anyone out there who found out how to get Intellisense working for arcpy in PTVS?

I succesfully installed PTVS, Intellisense support is available for all the ordinary Python libs. I selected the option Generate built-in and standard library under Generate Completion database (Tools/Options/Python Tools/Interpreter Options).The menu informs me that building the completion database will take a couple of minutes, but no results after half an hour. The interpreter is pointing at the ArcGIS10 Python installation (c:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\python.exe)

regards,

Marc

I was able to get this working using the instructions here: http://www.redtrails.com/blog/?p=878#comment-5

It even works with the free Visual Studio Shell: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=8e5aa7b6-8436-43f0-b778-00c3bca733d3&dis...

Sebastian (or anybody else!),

Could you describe what you did to enable full Intellisense support?

In the following sample code from the ArcGIS help system, adding a dot after df shows "No Completions" instead of the properties and functions of dataframes.

Thanks

import arcpy

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Project\Project.mxd")

for df in arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "t*"😞

     if df.name.lower == "transportation":

          df.scale = 24000

          df.rotation = 5.5

mxd.saveACopy(r"C:\Project\Project2.mxd")

del mxd
