When hitting enter on this, "False" will change to "FALSE", and a "from pickle import FALSE" statement will appear at the top

Note: I am using the pydev plugin

When typing a line of code, autocomplete attempts to fill in the already complete statement, so when you press enter, it will often attempt to change what you have written. Attached is an example of typing "isPrime = False", where as soon as you hit enter, it corrects "False" to "FALSE", and adds a line at the top saying "from pickle import FALSE". I like to call this the pickle predicament.

I think it would be better if either valid syntax was not replaced, or you can change your "use autocomplete" key to be something other than enter as it can often get in the way.
