Hi guys!
(Edit: Unless you’re dead set on using Eclipse/PyDev, I would recommend giving Sublime Text 2 a go. See this thread: https://discourse.panda3d.org/viewtopic.php?p=84204)
There are already a number of helper posts on how to get Panda3D working in Eclipse with Pydev, but I have yet to see one fixing code completion on classes imported from panda3d.core. Maybe it works better if you use the bundled python runtime, I don’t know. Still If you’re like me and using your own installation, I’m here to help you fix your code completion.
If you haven’t setup Panda3D in Eclipse before you’ll want to read these posts.

Now, the code completion. Due to the black magic (see http://www.panda3d.org/blog/?p=22) used to import from panda3d.core, Pydev is unable see the classes within. We can help Pydev by creating some predefined compilations:
http://pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html#id2
There are A LOT of classes in panda3d.core so doing it by hand is not an option. Instead you can use the below script to generate a file called panda3d.core.pypredef. Place it anywhere you like, and then configure Pydev as mentioned in the above link. The script adds all classes, “constants” and functions in panda3d.core. It also adds all member functions of said classes. I haven’t been able to make it add function arguments, but I’m working on it. Enjoy!
Edit: Updated the code with rndbit’s fixes.
