Code completion when a parameterized class implements an __init__ method

[Davide-sd]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm opening this issue/future request as suggested in this post.

I am implementing a class which requires the __init__ method to accept some arguments. The only issue is that by implementing it, I lose the code completion capability (at least in Jupyter Notebook, where I do have code completion turned on). Here is an example:

import param
class Test(param.Parameterized):
    first_param = param.Integer(default=2, doc="first")
    second_param = param.Dict(default={}, doc="second")
    third_param = param.Selector(default="a", objects=["a", "b", "c"], doc="third")

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)

If you type Test(first_ in a new cell, no completion is shown. If you comment out the __init__ method, code completion works fine.

Describe the solution you'd like

Regardless of the arguments written in the __init__ method, I would like to be able to use code completion on parameters that are created with param.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None, because I am attempting to refactor an existing module and I would like to maintain back-compatibility for as much as possible.
