Description
Atom suggests an autocomplete of "self" when I type a dot/period/full stop (".").
I would like to disable this autocomplete suggestion. PEP8 specifies comments should be grammatically valid, so when I end with a full stop, it suggests this, and when I press enter to go to a new line, it instead prepends "self" to the full stop.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a Python file.
- Type some text, e.g. "a".
- Type a dot.
Expected behavior: No autocomplete suggestions.
Actual behavior: Autocomplete suggests "self", even in a comment.
Reproduces how often: 100%

Additional Information
This does not occur on a dot that begins a line (or follows a space), only for a dot that follows text. I feel like the intended behaviour might be the opposite (should only suggest following a space or newline), i.e. there might be an inverted conditional.
I believe this to be a bug, but if the behaviour is intended, I would like to turn it off (just the "self" suggestion), in which case please consider it a feature request. I believe it's part of the langugage-python package, as it occurs in safe mode, and only in Python files, so apologies if I've gotten this wrong.
A very annoying behavior indeed!
For what it's worth, I've also noticed this behavior and I'm running a Mac OS on High Sierra (10.13.6). Atom version 1.28.1 x64 .
(It's been driving me crazy for weeks, which is the only reason that I'm still doing the bulk of my coding in VSCode instead of switching over)
Looks like it might have to do with:
'.source.python:not(.string)':
'self':
'prefix': '.'
'body': 'self.'

A temporary way around this issue might be to locally disable the incriminated snippet. Users can add this to their ~/.atom/snippets.cson:
'.source.python:not(.string)':
'self':
'prefix': '.'
disabled: true
@j2bbayle: this is a lifesaver :)

Thank you!
