The 'context-sensitive' completions are completions show the globals for the module, locals, and completions on 'self'. These completions are available in the Pydev 'Open Source' version. Below are some examples of code completion in action.

NOTE: You need to request the completions to show with Ctrl+Space. Autocompletions are only activated after '.'

NOTE: The timeout to connect to the shell is the amount of time that pydev may use to connect to the 'completion shell'. In some machines, it may take some time (especially if you are in jython and for some reason it is not able to write its cache -- if you still didn't do so, read the 'creating your first module' in the basic manual for more details).
