[Eric] Autocompletion behaviour

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

that seems to be correct. The eric assistant will use the same installed API 
files (see APIs config page). Additionally, it will extract APIs from a 
project once you open it. The rope plug-in determines completions and calltips 
dynamically for the opened project. The jedi plug-in should do this for random 
files (Tobias knows better on this).
