If you guys can get your head out of IDE land, you'll find iPython does a fantastic job at introspection and Auto-completion, you can launch shell commands and editors and when done saving be back in the iPython shell, save memory/variable space to disk so you can come back the next day and continue off where you were. It puts IDEs to shame.
If you can't get your Windows-centric IDE need eliminated, then Wing IDE 101 will not auto-complete, its been deliberately disabled to force students (hence 101) to memorize python/function names. Komodo Edit is a free download and will Auto-complete. Cheers, PN -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
