    PyDev 1.3.9
    Eclipse 3.3.0
    Windows XP SR2

    For some reason code completion doesn't work in my installation. I tested with this simple code

    import sys

    sys.
       ^

    After I typed . there should be a list of completion choices popping up. This works fine for me on Linux (same versions of PyDev and Eclipse). I didn't change any default setting under the Code Completion preferences either.

    Could someone offer a tip? I'd really love to see this work.

    Thank you!

      I should mention my python installation came from the up-to-date Cygwin installation.

        Pydev doesn't currently handle a cygwin installation. If you're on windows, you should use the default python setup for windows (that's mostly due to the way that paths are handled and must be converted/reconverted many times when using cygwin -- some work was already started for that, but it's still far from being complete).

        Cheers,
