Emacs - tab-completion of local Python variables

Question

Is there a good emacs mode that will allow tab-completion of local python variables? I set up ipython.el but it will only tab-complete things in the scope of the interpreter

Answer 1

M-/ runs the command dabbrev-expand . This will complete local names in any mode. Also I bind meta f1 to hippie expand from all open buffers. This is very useful for me.

;; Bind hippie-expand
(global-set-key [(meta f1)] (make-hippie-expand-function
                               '(try-expand-dabbrev-visible
                                 try-expand-dabbrev
                                 try-expand-dabbrev-all-buffers) t))

Hope this is useful.
