Emacs needn't parse Python code, it can ask the running Python
interpreter about its objects.  The only problem why this feature is
difficult to implement right now is how to communicate with the Python
interactive interface within multi-line inputs.

If I only had the support in IPython ;-), I might try to do something
about the completion in Emacs.
