Is there a way to hint PyDev what is the type a variable (or property) so it can provide autocompletion?

class C(object): def __init__(self, p): self.p = p #@type self.p: module.AnotherClass def m(self): self.p. # autocompletion for AnotherClass opens

You can use an isinstance assert to check it…
E.g.: assert isinstance(p, module.AnotherClass)

but it won't work for your use-case (pydev will be able to resolve p in the same scope where the isinstance was used, but can't 'see' that self.p was of the same type that p (which had the assert used).

Please add a feature request for that.

Cheers,

Fabio
