You might want to try the pyXIDEs list -- this certainly isn't a 
Mac-specific question:

pyxides at googlegroups.com

An anycase, there are some open-source tools that do AutoComplete, I"d 
look for them and look at their code.

And you can compile to code to .pyc files without running it, and there 
are tools to examine the results. I've never done any of that, you might 
want to try comp.lang.python. In the meantime, check out these functions 
and modules:

compile()
compiler
code
codeop


HTH,
