Eclipse PyDev Autocomplete Issues

I installed PyDev in Eclipse on my Mac. Whenever I am writing code, it has only a few suggestions and is seemingly incomplete. For example, whenever I type 'r', it only suggests "raise()" and "return()". However, all of the other functions that I would expect for it to suggest still execute at runtime.

This is the error:

Error connecting to python process. - the process in NOT ALIVE anymore (output=0) - ProcessInfo:

i solved my Problem (was nearly the same):

i had

127.0.0.1 localhost

::1 localhost

written in my "hosts"-file:

HOW TO SOLVE:

open Terminal
sudo nano /etc/hosts
enter password
find both entries and comment them out with a "#" for example: #127.0.0.1 localhost #::1 localhost
CTRL+X
Y (on european Keyboard Z=Y)
ENTER

=> Solved

It seems that for some reason it's not being able to connect to 'localhost', this usually means some problem in your machine configuration.

Take a look at:

https://superuser.com/questions/207244/os-x-cant-resolve-localhost-suddenly

https://superuser.com/questions/142736/cant-resolve-localhost-on-mac-os-x-server

to see if that's your case... you can also try to edit:

/Users/tywhitehouse10/Downloads/eclipse 2/plugins/org.python.pydev_2.6.0.2012062818/pysrc/pydev_localhost.py

and make the function 'get_localhost' return '127.0.0.1' directly (but this is not a real solution, just a way to check if binding to the address directly instead of localhost works, as your localhost should definitely resolve properly).
