Python: Incorrect Intellisense autocompletion for numpy

One thing I can't get over - when I use numpy in Visual Studio and I want to declare an array of zeroes, I write:

x = numpy.zeros(n)

and it is correct for the interpreter. BUT THE AUTOCOMPLETION GIVES ME:

X = numpy.zeros_like ...

How can I change it to get actually helpful autocompletion? In C++ I get everything allright, so I guess it's an internal problem in Python case.

Edit: As I see the problem is that numpy.zeros is defined in numeric.py as: zeros = multiarray.zeros. Apparently this is not enough for IntelliSense (or VisualAssist for this matter), which requires def function to actually see the structure.

You need to install the python 3.5 and download the corresponding wheel for numpy. Then using the command: pip install xxxx(numpy wheel version that you download) to install it. For more the detail information about the installation staff, you can have a look at this.

Then open or create a python application project in VS and set the python 3.5 as the default environment, then I can found the intellisense for numpy.zeros also works fine in .py file like the following screenshot: (python 3.5) enter image description here

If set the python 2.7 as the default environment, the intellisense just like your description as below: enter image description here
