I think he wants to have "Intellisense" as in visual studio/eclipse  
etc.,
I have not had much use for intellisense so far (python shell with  
help, __doc__ and dir() have been sufficient).
my attempt at using rope emacs, pymacs has not worked. Will give it a  
shot again.


But, to continue with Anand's suggestion, I found yasnippet http:// 
code.google.com/p/yasnippet to be a great extension for textmate like  
snippet features.
One types def and <TAB> and the snippets expands to
def fn():
    '''
    '''
with subsequent <TAB> taking you to the right places.
