[wingide-users] Auto-completion of wxPython classes during ed iting?

This is caused by a bug in Wing related to finding base class
information when the base class is imported.  There is a fix for it
available from our download page at:

http://wingide.com/support/downloads_list&prod=wingstd&version=1.1.9&section=bugfix

The bugfix is #7.  To install it, extract the files from the tar file
into the Wing's install directory (typically c:\Program Files\Wing IDE
on Windows and /usr/lib/wingide on Linux).  Use the folder names when
extracting so the actual files are put into the correct subdirectories.

Thanks for the bug report,

John
