it should be, yes

you can get a complete list of all scripts currently sourced by
issuing the

:scriptnames

command -- the command to load a script is

:source <scriptname>

but you won't need that if the python script is in your autoload
directory

see

:help autoload
:help autoload-functions

for information on how to call autoloaded functions -- if you can
successfully call a function in pythoncomplete, you'll know it's
loaded -- there should be script specific documentation in your
doc path to help out too -- try

:help python<tab>

for a list of python specific help that has been installed and
indexed -- just keep hitting the tab key til one you're
interested in is highlighted, then hit enter

hmmm -- that :help <subject><tab> trick works in vim 7.1 --
right?
