I just remembered: I've been around the block with them on this one too.  It
was with PyTables.  There are some modules (PyTables includes) that use
certain names that are valid when called, but are no where defined in the
module.  Yes, it happens, and yes, it sounds quite tweaky.  I can dig up
details if you want me to.  But, since the names are defined, basically, at
run time, there is no way Wing can find them for autocompletion.

It does? "off-line activation is available if your machine does not have TCP
port 80 (http) access to wingware.com."  What part still requires web
access?
