Description gkachru 2009-01-17 08:43:05 UTC 
A common was to import packages is to use the syntax "from base import package". However Netbeans does not recognize the type of "package" when 
attempting to auto-complete.

It does however give correct completion when the import syntax used is the following: "import base.package as package".

For django projects especially, the first syntax is heavily used (examples: from django.db import models, from django.contrib import admin) as recommended 
in the django documentation. This issue completely limits the usability of the IDE.

Fixed in changeset 82b2efc7c927, will appear in build #4880 or later from http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/trunk/.

Thanks for the bug report!
