Not quite true. Using CTRL+P (previous) or CTRL+N (next), you actually
get some sort of code completion. It's actually only looking for words
in any open buffers. But for me that's Good Enough. Context-sensitive
code completion would be nice, but with Python being such a dynamic
language that's very hard to implement. Say, you use __setattr__ on
some object. How is the editor to know that attribute without doing
some parsing. Which would be slow. Or a memory killer ;)
Btw: There is also a way to tell python to look inside additional
files for code-completion. Add this to your vimrc to automaticll load
the syntax-file of the loaded file to the completion list:
autocmd BufEnter * exec('setlocal complete+=k$VIMRUNTIME/
syntax/'.&ft.'.vim')
