[wingide-users] .pri Files for .NET (autocomplete for .NET classes when using IronPython)

[Michael Foord]

Hello all,

Wing uses .pri files for its autocomplete. (IIRC)

We'd love autocomplete for .NET classes. The current tool for generating 
.pri files uses "inspect.get_argspec" (which doesn't work in IronPython) 
and so would need a bit of work (like adding references to assemblies) 
to work with IronPython.

It occurs to us that an alternative approach might be for us to generate 
pri files for *all* the .NET classes in one go.

Is this a viable approach?

By which I mean - does Wing load *all* the .pri files into memory. Would 
creating a huge set of them be *likely* to impact performance of Wing ?
