feature request: python API available when coding without blocks (eg snippets but displayed like blocks?)

Open jaustin opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

One thing that seems to aid transition from blocks to coding is the ability to explore the API in the same way the blocks display it.

Could we have some visual API representation similar in some ways to the blocks display format so that kids can explore the API alongside coding when not in blocks mode. Perhaps something like 'snippets on steroids' or 'docs with fewer words'

I've a branch on my local machine that does a crude autosuggest / calltips a la Mu. Needs work though. It would certainly solve most of the problems you describe above (i.e. context sensitive API information, snippets of documentation).
