Does Enthought Canopy have an auto-complete and/or auto-suggest feature?

I am using the free version of Enthought Canopy for Python work and am forever finding myself hitting Ctrl + Space for an auto-complete list, but it never comes up.

It also doesn't auto-suggest anything whilst I type.

I have looked through all available settings and cannot find an option there to activate it.

Is this feature available and if so, how can one activate it?

Solution

  • Type the following:

    import numpy as np
a = np.ar

    Immediately after ar, press the Tab key. What do you see?
