Hi Mark,

One small issue so far. I am seeing multiple entries in the popup 
attribute window after pressing the '.' key. It appears to be related to 
levels of inheritence. An example explains it best:

l = list()
l.+----------
  |append
  |append
  |count
  |...

class list2(list):
    pass
l = list2()
l.+----------
  |append
  |append
  |append
  |count
  |...

class list3(list2):
    pass
l = list3()
l.+----------
  |append
  |append
  |append
  |append
  |count
  |...

The problem also occurs with the new 2.2 properties, and occurs for 
classic classes, new object descended classes, and built-in type 
descended classes. The problem does not occur with simple attributes.

<a few minutes later>

I've had a look in the source and have come up with a patch that seems 
to fix the problem:

D:\Python22\Pythonwin\pywin\scintilla\view.py (line 407)

#------------------------------------------------------
# Fix to remove duplicate entries 				
#------------------------------------------------------
# OLD CODE
#------------------------------------------------------
# if hasattr(ob, "__class__"):
#	 items = items + _get_class_attributes(ob.__class__)
#------------------------------------------------------
# NEW CODE BEGIN
#------------------------------------------------------
allitems = []
allitems.extend(_get_class_attributes(ob.__class__))
for item in allitems:
    if not item in items:
        items = items + item
#------------------------------------------------------
# NEW CODE END
#------------------------------------------------------

HTH.
