class MyClass():
    def alpha(self):
        pass
    def beta(self):
        pass

def getProxy(self):
    """This is description...

    :return: MyClass -- bla bla
    """
    return "" # imagine that here you have a function that returns you an XMLRPC proxy object of type MyClass


if __name__ == '__main__':

    x = getProxy()
    x.alpha() # this doen't AUTOCOMPLETE
    x.capitalize() # this does autocomplete

This example is inspired from how xmlrpclib works.

@ssbarnea Types from docstrings already have precedence over inferred return types. Your type annotation just doesn't follow Sphinx annotation conventions.

The correct way of annotating this function in Sphinx is:

def getProxy(self):
    """This is description...

    :return: bla bla
    :rtype: MyClass
    """
    return "" # imagine that here you have a function that returns you an XMLRPC proxy object of type MyClass
