What you call "code completion" cannot work in many cases with dynamic

not while editing python.
As Scott indicates, one can often do a fairly good job. I'm definitely
not a Java guy, but I've heard that Java generics (don't ask me to
identify one of them! :) can cause similar pains for Java
autocomplete/calltips as some dynamic language patterns can.
You'd be amazed at how much ActiveState's Python _can_ and _does_
guess/infer about available methods. It is pretty fancy (even for
an old stick-in-the-mud "Lave my keyboard alone" guy like me.
Do you mean Komodo?
