Some aspects of Python would be reasonably easy.  Most import
statements are at the top of the file and are easy to parse.  One
could write a command that does a dir() on each of those modules, and
when you type the module name followed by a dot, it offers the
contents of that dir().  It could be activated on typing dot, which
then scans back for the last whole word and sees if it knows that as a
module.

I'd be willing to have a go at this, but I don't know how to present a
drop down or scan back for the last word when a dot is pressed.  I'll
see if I can get the import parsing working though as a starter.
