On closer inspection (and discussion with the orderless people), the
completion-at-point function in pyhton.el conforms to the completion API.
The issue lies in the fancier completion styles, which always send the
empty string as the STRING argument to any completion table.
There's a workaround for this, which I could provide, but this doesn't
seem advisable.
