Re: [Pydev-users] Generics in Pydev code analysis

[Fabio Z. <fa...@gm...>]

Hi Chi Ho Kwok,

This is something planned, but it's still not done...

The issue is: https://sw-brainwy.rhcloud.com/tracker/PyDev/147, but I can't
really give you an estimate right now on when it'll be done, although I can
say it probably won't be done in a short-time period -- unless there's a
pull request for it -- as I'm currently working on other things -- although
it's also something I'd personally like to have, so, it's bound to be done
some time :)

Kind Regards,

Fabio
