Do you know if it is possible to setup any IDE which control the syntax and the code consistency to know all the classes, methods and constants used in plugins ?

&nbsp;

I'm using sublime text 2 with sublimerope plugin but most of the code is marked with errors.

&nbsp;

Do you have solution or advice for simple IDE for plugin development ?

If this is possible I would like to know how as well, although I use Komodo IDE ;)

As an alternative, I have in the past used available online docs for a project to create a mock library so I can view the information within my IDE, I'm sure there is enough information available to do so with Plex? In fact, Using the Framework information provided [here](http://dev.plexapp.com/docs/api/index.html) would be a good start. Also note that docs are generated automatically so all you need to do is place it into your _'PythonXX/Lib/site-packages'_ folder and reload your IDE, or (if available) manually refresh the docs in your IDE's settings.

More information regarding optimizing modules for documentation can be found [here](http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/).

Hope this helps!
