Right, that part I already get.

_After_ running makepy, saving the source, closing PythonWin, reopening
the source in PythonWin, the class browser initially is only aware of
the methods that are used in my source code. After a certain operation
(I think it happens after a save or run), then the class browser
display all available methods.

I am not sure if this is a PythonWin bug, or my installation or
configuration is damaged.
