Is there a way to get code-hints for gtk3 and python working on aptana?

Question

My situation is Aptana eclipse plug-in installed and working properly.

If I from gi.repository import Gtk the code completion I'm used to from import gtk is gone. Any solutions or is it just a bug?

My interim solution is keeping an import gtk\ngtk. in a clipboard manager and dropping it in when I need hints.

Yes, there is! You should add gi to the forced builtins and you'll get a code completion:

Go to the Window->Preferences, PyDev->Interpreter python section and add gi to the "Forced builtin" tab for each interpreter you would like to use Gtk3.
