Designing the language with auto-complete in mind feels wrong to me. It assumes a very sophisticated IDE and may lead to lazy design compromises.

You can tab-complete enums (in the REPL), but not strings.
Tab-complete is not an IDE thing, it's a CPython REPL thing. It seems reasonable to design for it.

Any IDE worth my time would support string autocompletion, anyway. ;)
