Komodo will not do completions for things like variables and function local to the file I'm working in
Ensure the codeintel preferences are enabled (enable automatic autocomplete ...).

Note that Komodo's Python code intelligence requires that the file be syntactically correct (no errors) before the code can be correctly scanned and used for completions. Also note that Komodo's Python completions only occur after a "." for most cases.

Enable completion on the attributes of a module that is imported into the root namespace
If you import a module (or it's contents) then Komodo will provide completions for those contents, example:

# completions shown at this point - where the | is the cursor
import |   
import os.|
from os import |
from os import path
path.|

Komodo not displaying the full text of python multipline docstrings
No, Komodo does not show the full calltip. I had thought this was fixed - but it appears it hasn't been completely fixed. I found the following bug that was closed and re-opened it:

Hi Todd,

Thanks a bunch. Just to be sure I'm getting this straight:

Is it: Preferences->code inteligence->"enable automatic autocomplete and calltip triggering while you type" that needs to be on? (Because it already is)

A co-worker, that also just started using Komodo again, says he remembers that there is a non default setting that you have to set, that will give you much more completion. But he's not been able to locate it..

About the completion, is it possible to make Komodo suggest more of the stuff that's before the '.'?

Thanks again,
Sune

Oh, about the docstring being capped, I see that a "." might also do it.

So this:
This is the first part. This is the second part.

Will show as:
This is the first part.
