yes, thanks
Well, that's a feature.

if autocomplete-related, as it's part already of PDEE, the most suitable 
place for a request is here:

that's an alternative to bug-reports making clear, it's an extension, 
not a bug

could you mail me the complete code?
thanks

not sure if been ever part. Used skeleton electric paren stuff from 
shipped python.el in components mode once, but had to de-activate, as in 
the way it was implemented --maybe my own error-- it destroyed abbrevs 
occasionally.

Please make a feature request in the bug-tracker

bzr branch lp:~a-roehler/python-mode/components-python-mode

should do it
