[pyclewn] Balloon feature does not seem to work on Mac Mountain Lion OS X 10.8

[Deepak Surti]

Hi,

I cannot get the balloon feature to work. My configuration details:
OS: Mountain Lion OS X 10.8
Vim: I have aliased vi and vim to MacVim installed via homebrew

which vi

vi: aliased to /usr/local/Cellar/macvim/7.3-66/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim

vi --version

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Mar 31 2013 13:08:54)
MacOS X (unix) version
Included patches: 1-754

The following 3 are all enabled (netbeans, autocmd, balloon_eval):
vi --version | grep netbeans
+multi_lang -mzscheme *+netbeans_intg* +odbeditor +path_extra +perl

vi --version | grep autocmd
+arabic *+autocmd* *+balloon_eval* +browse ++builtin_terms +byte_offset
+cindent

With this configuration, whenever I hover mouse over any variable, no
balloon tip appears?

In my $HOME/.pyclewn_keys.pdb file, I have commented C-P. All other key
mappings work fine. To get to inspect local variables values, for now, I
have just added a mapping as such:
map <F5> :exe "Cp " . expand("<cword>") <CR>

I am not sure as to what the problem can be: that is if the balloon feature
on MacVim is broken or it's something to do with my configuration of either
MacVim for balloon or pyclewn key mappings or if its something to do with
pyclewn itself?

Any help/pointers greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Deepak

This recent thread on the vim-mac mailing list discusses the same
problem and suggests to try the example given in ':help bexpr'

Hi Xavier,
