Python and GTK 2.0 autocompletion

[Strider]

Netbeans is great for Python but it would be greater if autocompletion worked as intended. I explain.
I'm currently working on a Python project using the GTK+ library (pygtk),
I can't get the autocompletion to work with it.
I have some autocompletion but it gives me all sort of unrelated results like wxWidgets or functions from other programs that are installed on my system like Miro for example.

I tried adding directories to python's path like /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6/gtk-2.0/ but it didn't change anything.

I'm suspecting that Netbeans is only indexing .py files and that some symbols are in .so files and they don't get indexed, is that correct ?

I also tried Netbeans 6.8 beta (I'm using 6.7.1 from the Ubuntu 9.10 repositories) and it was the same.

I can still use Netbeans and it's still good but it would be so much better if autocompletion worked as it should !

The problem is that netbeans does not index python native libraries like pygtk or PyOpenGL, or pyqt, or wxPython.
