Q: 

Dynamic suggestions for text ctrl in wxPython?

Is there any way to mimic the dynamic suggestions behavior as per the search field on Google? As in, I type something in a text ctrl, and a list of suggestions pops up below for the user to chose from? If wxPython doesn't have such a feature, perhaps some other Python gui has it?

EDIT: For use on a Mac. That excludes this example, although it seems to be exactly what I am looking for.

+1  A: 

Im not sure it theres a way to automatically do this but I think it could be easily achieved by binding to EVT_TEXT.

This is a recipe from the wxpython wiki for a TextCtrlAutoComplete control

Yea I found that wiki entry too. The problem is that I'm intending to use it on a Mac, which doesn't support the popupWindow. I better edit the question.
