You can write a plugin to extend the completion list with the addresses
you want hooking on ADDDRESS_COMPLETION_BUILD_ADDRESS_LIST_HOOKLIST.

I don't think python plugin allows to provide python methods as callbacks
for those hooks, though. Maybe I'm wrong here, or maybe the python plugin
developer is willing to extend it to allow this.

This could in fact represent a major feature, allowing to write whole
plugins in python only :)
