I don't use pydev so much anymore, though I still have it installed on  
my system.

This is working for me (I have the PyDev extenstions as well). For  
instance, if I type:

from Bio import

and hit ctrl-space, I get a list of completions, like Affy, ...,   
Blast, ..., ExPASy, etc.

You might want to reload the libs found in your Python Interpreter  
setting.

You could try the PyDev user forums:
