As you find this variables are part of .pyd files (dll files for Python). PyCharm can't get signatures for content of this files.
For Python builtins (like abs, all, any, etc.) PyCharm has it's own .py files that uses only for signatures and docs. You can see it if you'll click on some of this funcs and go to it's declaration:
PyCharm will open builtins.py file in it's folder with following content:
def abs(*args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
""" Return the absolute value of the argument. """
pass
def all(*args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
"""
Return True if bool(x) is True for all values x in the iterable.
If the iterable is empty, return True.
"""
pass
def any(*args, **kwargs): # real signature unknown
"""
Return True if bool(x) is True for any x in the iterable.
If the iterable is empty, return False.
"""
pass
As you see functions are defined and documented, but have no implementation, because their implementation created with C and placed somewhere in binary file.
Pycharm can't provide such wrapper for every library. Usually people who created .pyd files provide their .py wrappers (for example, PyQt module: no native python implementation, just signatures).
Looks like Gimp doesn't have such wrapper for some of variables. Only way I see is to create some sort of own wrapper manually. For example, create gimpfu_signatures.py with following content:
RGBA_IMAGE = 1
TRANSPARENT_FILL = 2
NORMAL_MODE = 3
And import it while you're creating plugin:
from gimpfu import *
from gimpfu_signatures import * # comment on release
Not elegant, but better then nothing.
...
One more note about gimpfu.py's path. If I understand correctly, you just added this path to project. It may work, but correct way is to add it to project's PYTHONPATH (in project preferences). See this link for detailed manual.
