[Jython-users] Newb question: how do I determine an object's public methods?

[Jake B <ota...@gm...>]

Hello, I have used Python for some time, but because my current project
involves the use of the Java library Batik, I have decided to learn to use
Jython. I am not familiar with the Batik API, and so I am really missing the
autocomplete (Ctrl + Space) feature that I would normally have when writing
Java code in Eclipse. The autocomplete feature displays all of an object's
public methods, as well as other publicly accessible constructs, and I
believe that this feature provides a very fast, dynamic way of learning an
unfamiliar API.
I understand that due to Python and Jython's dynamic typing system,
autocomplete is generally not possible. However, I was wondering if there
were any other function that could retrieve an object's public methods and
other constructs. For instance, I believe that in Python I could run
inspect.getmembers(circbbox, inspect.ismethod) to get the public methods.
However, this does not seem to work in Jython.
I would appreciate any guidance anyone can can offer.
Thanks.

Jake
