Autocomplete in python_sample.py
I am new to Python and installed ActivePython 2.6 and Komodo Edit 5.1.0-b. I was trying to follow the sample script to learn my first "things". The thing is, I could not get the Autocomplete or Calltips to work. After reading some post on the forum I went to Edit>Preferences>Code Intelligence> and clicked the box to enable Autocomplete Complete Fill-Up Characters, clicked OK and closed Komodo Edit. Re-opened Komodo Edit and it built some catalogs and then I could do the exercises in the sample.py script.
I do not know if I did this properly or not, but this is what I did to get autocomplete and calltips to display following the examples. Even CNTR+J did not work until I did the above.
So, if this is an omission in the script comments, maybe you can add the procedure to get autocomplete and calltips to work in the sample script because the comments leads one to believe the these functions should be working right out of the box.
Komodo Edit, version 5.1.0-beta1, build 3137, platform win32-x86.

The Python autocomplete will automatically start working as soon as it finds a valid Python installation.
I'm guessing that Komodo was installed and running before you installed ActivePython, and that Komodo did not know there was a valid Python installation until after Komodo was restarted, at which point it found ActivePython on the PATH and then started worked correctly.
