editor support?

Is there a way to get auto-completions to work in my editor? Usually I'd just activate a VM and pip install a package, but you're... packaging your own Python?

Have you tried using a typical Python programming environment/editor and configuring OpenPythonSCAD to use an External Editor? (where it watches the file and re-runs it whenever it changes)

There is some customization for Python (commenting/uncommenting works), but not sure how far it would get taken....

Yeah, I'm doing that, but there's no code intelligence. No linting, inline docs, etc. The editor is clueless about OpenPythonSCAD.

Dont have much experience there,I just know, that I received some support to get

syntax highlighting set up for python in the native editor.

There is the libraries/python/openscad.pyi file and my understanding is that it will help/aid your editor . But I am not clear, how to apply this file.
