Python and Intellisense

Is there an equivalent to 'intellisense' for Python?

Perhaps i shouldn't admit it but I find having intellisense really speeds up the 'discovery phase' of learning a new language. For instance switching from VB.net to C# was a breeze due to snippets and intellisense helping me along.

This blog entry explains setting Vim up as a Python IDE, he covers Intellisense-like functionality:

This is standard in Vim 7. There are a number of other very useful plugins for python development in Vim, such as Pyflakes which checks code on the fly and Python_fn.vim which provides functionality for manipulating python indentation & code blocks.
