I too would like to see this.

What I have discovered (with Stephan Deibel's help of course) is to
start Wing after activating a terminal window in virtualenv.  Then I
also load a python file that sets sys.path to my eggs directories, i.e.

-----------------------
import sys 


sys.path[0:0] = [
  '/home/tim/projects/ref_impl_python/TRUNK/oship/src',
  '/home/tim/buildout-eggs/z3c.evalexception-2.0-py2.4.egg',
  '/home/tim/buildout-eggs/Paste-1.7-py2.4.egg',
  '/home/tim/buildout-eggs/setuptools-0.6c8-py2.4.egg',
  '/home/tim/buildout-eggs/PasteScript-1.6.2-py2.4.egg',
   ...
-----------------------

as my Debug File (See the Debug menu). 

This file then sets the Effective Python Path (see:Source Analysis Stats
under the Source menu option). 

Now this doesn't fix the issue with the Python Shell window but code
completion works perfectly.  I do note though that adding files to my
code in the project doesn't get added to the Source Completion function
unless I restart Wing.

So this solution isn't perfect but it does help to use the wonderful
features of WingIDE.

HTH,
Tim
