I have python support enabled and I hardly ever find it
working/useful. I often find that it doesn't work, unless the import
is immediately preceding or is very close by. Even otherwise, it is
useless for most instances, because the type of object is unknown. I
think omni-completion is useless for languages such as python that are
so dynamic in nature. There is still some scope to cover more
instances by doing some heuristic static analysis, but not sure if any
of the full featured IDE's also are capable of doing this.
