IPython autocompletion is dynamic using some runtime information (as far as I 
know). eric4's autocompletion (which is based on QScintilla2) is static and 
works with API files. The script eric4-api parses Python modules and extracts 
information needed to generate these API files.

However, latest snapshot together with latest snapshot of rope plugin provide 
alternative autocompletion support using rope's functionality. That might 
give you autocompletion that way you would like. Please give it a try.
