Have you tried to enable the usage of the Python API file that comes with 
QScintilla (I think)? Just go to the eric4 configuration dialog, API page, 
select Python and select "Add from installed APIs". You should get a list of 
raw API files to select from. Once done, just compile the list into a 
prepared API file (which is a binary file). This file is used by the 
QScintilla autocompletion. Alternatively you may install the eric4 assistant 
plugin (for eric4 4.2.0 or better) and configure the autocompletion to use 
that instead. You still have to configure the set of rawAPI files to use. 
However, compilation is done automatically if needed.
