Basically you need to let your editor know that for a certain key (e.g. TAB)
it should:
1. call a function similar to complete(text, state)
(see the rlcompleter module,
http://www.python.org/doc/lib/completer-objects.html)
    and
2. use the result from complete to offer the user a choice or automatically
write some chars.

(Note that you may need to make changes to rlcompleter before you can use
it.)

How you bind the specific keystroke event with this behavior depends on the
API of the text-control you use.
