OK, I didn't think about this and yes, I can imagine it could get quite annoying (plus possibly slow) seeing calltips when writing your own init functions (I don't think invoking init() directly is common in Python).

__init__() needs to be manually called on super classes inside derived class __init__()s, but thats the only common case of explicit call AFAIK.

But if the tooltip on typing __init__( either as definition or call was a list of all the __init__() functions in all global tags it will be pretty much useless anyway, so its not much of a loss.

So yeah, I'm now leaning towards dropping init from the tag file, applying this patch and also modifying the calltip code to show the class name instead of init. What do you think?

Well, the tooltip is supposed to be helpful, so showing the list of __init__()s as a list of constructors looks like what the user should type, but more important is being consistent, both global tags classes and runtime parsed classes should show the same.

The symbols in the sidebar will still show __init__()s for open files, so they are not lost.

So would agree.
