Extend DIAdem Python AutoComplete

[JoshRew]

Is there a way to extend Python Autocomplete for user-specific DIAdem to directories other than Site-Packages?

For example, in VSC you can edit the settings.json to add paths to:

• python.analysis.extraPaths (for importing)
• python.autoComplete.extraPaths (for autocompletion)

So stuff imported from "C:\Repositories\Python\MyLibraryOther\__init__.py" is directly visible on import alongside stuff in SitePackages:

I've been able to add further locations to the active DIAdem Python Path via:

import site
site.addsitedir('C:/Repositories/Python/')

With that, I can "use" the script contents from both "Other" and "Site-Packages" items:

But I can only "see" items located within the Site-Packages folder:

Hi Josh,

R&D says, "Currently only packages installed under the "normal" Python path are included in the autocomplete.  But it would be possible to retrofit something like this as a feature in a future release."

Would you be willing to add that to the DIAdemIdeas page?  Suggestions always mean more coming straight from customers...

Good to hear from you,
