Nicholaj has promised a pycomplete backend for company too. I can
recommend company-mode. The documentation for it is not the best
unfortunately but its being improved all the time. company-mode even has
completion for ispell dictionaries which is nice and also has a semantic
back end for talking to cedet so can complete any language semantic can
parse. recommended. But I have to say that completion is one of the
messiest areas in emacs - many possibilities all reinventing the wheel
in some cases. I intend to try pycomplete too.
