How to get pydev code completion using super

Question

Is there a way to configure PyDev or hint for code completion when using super()?

For example:

class B(A):
    def __init__(self,):
        super(B, self).__init__()

In this case I don't have access to class A's source code but need to know what parameters to provide in the init call which will also tell me what parameters to require in B. I haven't seen anything about super in the type hinting documentation. I also prefer not to directly use A.__init__() if possible because I believe I remember reading that super() is the correct way to do it.

Humm, that sounds like a shortcoming in the PyDev type inference engine. Please report that at https://sw-brainwy.rhcloud.com/tracker/PyDev (the type inference is one of the current development focuses).
