M-/ is good for saving keystrokes.

http://cedet.sourceforge.net/semantic.shtml is a project working on
the backend parsing to be able to be at the point where that context
sensitive dynamic completions can happen ( well, as well as they could
in python ).

I love emacs though I keep thinking one day that eclipse will take
over and would love for there to be an emacslike engine on top of
eclipse to access use customizations/keybindings etc.

The trick that I like most about emacs+python right now is inserting
import pdb; pdb.set_trace() and then running the python script from a
*shell* buffer. It just happens to load the exact same code that would
occur from running pdb.py directly so code lines can be synced up.
