[PyQt] Using QScintilla .api files

Yes, still within a GUI, just not within an actual QScintilla widget. I 
have two specific UIs that let users enter python expressions which I 
would love to be able to supply auto-completion for. Already having api 
files available for QScintilla, I'd hate to build my own auto-completion 
lookup system from scratch.

Really I just want a way to load a set of prepared api files and then 
hand some function the text and ask for the resulting completions or 
calltips, the actual display of those results would be up to my own UI 
to handle.

Or, how about just documentation on what the prepared api file looks 
like internally and how a search for a match is performed by QScintilla? 
I wouldn't be opposed to rolling my own code for reading in and finding 
matches in an api file, if I had some firm grounding in how to go about it.

Thanks for the response,
