Vim: How to show all completions instead of expanding to “self“ with omnicompletion in Python?

Question

I don’t really need the “feature” of expanding to self when there are no beginning characters of the function/class/etc. specified yet, I’d rather have it show a list of all functions available in that context.

Is there a way to enable this somehow?

I’m afraid this is hard-coded in python3complete (/usr/share/vim/vim73/autoload/python3complete.vim), in that case: Are there any changed version of that script?
(This is targeted at python3, but should be the same in python2.x, didn’t test it.)

Answer 1

Are you using the snipMate plugin? If you are, then there's probably a snippet that has the trigger ".", which will expand to "self.".

It looks something like this in a file called python.snippets:

snippet .
       self.

Remove those lines.
