Do not depend so much on autocompletion to understand an interface. One
of Python's greatest strengths is the fact that it is extremely dynamic,
allowing objects to acquire new attributes/methods at runtime. Mark
Hammond's win32 extensions use that feature a lot. 

There is no way an IDE can guess all the messages a live instance will
handle just by looking at the static code of its class. For that, you
must grok the semantics of __getattr__ in Python and its extensive use
in many libraries. The only cure for that is documentation. If that is
lacking, we must read the source, unfortunately. 

But we are lucky to find the answers expressed in Python, and not in
some low-level C full of pointer arithmetic...

Best regards,
