The demo for the StyledTextCtrl_2 mentions something about
autocomplete in the code. Not sure what it's talking about though. The
docs for it seem to link to Scintilla, so reading up on Scintilla's
usage would probably be valuable.

The wiki has one recipe on it for this control:
http://wiki.wxpython.org/Using_Python_Regular_Expressions_with_StyledTextCtrl

I highly recommend the wxPython mailing list. Right now it is down
(see their website), but when it's back up (check their website for
news), that's where I'd post this question if no one else here
answers.
