you save references to your lexer and api here
then (bizarrely) create a new lexer and api here
This is not as bizarre as you might think. It can take minutes to
prepare an api which is why the editor uses a different
instantiation. The reason it looks odd in this case is because it is
an example after all.
You did point me in the right direction, it looks like the lexer and
api are not reference counted when given to Scintilla, apparently
raising an exception interferes with this mechanism so they aren't
garbage collected which causes the correct behavior.

# uncommenting this exception causes code-completion not to
work.
raise Exception("Why does this exception make code-
completion work?")
my guess is that if you hook self.editor up to self.lexer and
self.api it will all work fine
