I use rlcompleter extensively in interactive Python
mode.
I think it could be cool if callable objects were added
"("
when completed. This way it will be much faster to 
program, without looking-up __doc__. For example:

>>> f.fil<TAB>
will give:
>>> f.fileno(_
("_" is to mark cursor position)
and:

>>> f.so<TAB>
will (as before) give:
>>> f.softspace _

Any comments on this one? Sounds reasonable to me.

Perhaps one needs to propose a patch. Otherwise it will not
advance...

One more illustration:

>>> f = open("myfile", "w")
>>> f.
f.__class__(         f.__repr__(          f.next(
f.__delattr__(       f.__setattr__(       f.read(
f.__doc__            f.__str__(           f.readinto(
f.__enter__(         f.close(             f.readline(
f.__exit__(          f.closed             f.readlines(
f.__getattribute__(  f.encoding           f.seek(
f.__hash__(          f.fileno(            f.softspace
f.__init__(          f.flush(             f.tell(
f.__iter__(          f.isatty(            f.truncate(
f.__new__(           f.mode               f.write(
f.__reduce__(        f.name               f.writelines(
f.__reduce_ex__(     f.newlines           f.xreadlines(
>>> f.


- nice to remember which attributes are methods and which
aren't.

Here is a new patch against 2.6.

I have also updated the rlcompleter documentation. Here is the complete
patch.

Thanks for the patch!

However, I do not understand if it ever gets included into Python or
remains always for those who find it? (I do not believe this small
change is somehow PEPable, but how it gets included then?)

This is nearly good. 
But I have some notes: you don't need to import operator here, just use
the built-in callable; stick to <80 columns; leave a space after a comma.

Guilherme,
Thanks a lot for taking some time to review my patch.
Here is a new version.

Please take another look and tell me what do you think about it.
Thanks again
