Auto-complete text field?

wxPython Users

Hi, I want to do an auto-complete text field that is just
like the address bar in firefox. I tried the masked edit
controls, but they don't actually pop up the options in a
list box under the edit field. I could use a very small Scite
control...

But I'm wondering if anyone knows of an implementation
that uses a plain TextCtrl for auto-complete?

My data source is a database, so after a half second if
inactivity I'll make an sql call, and pop up the list.

Thanks,
-Jim

There was also some discussion about it on this list in February.
