Here is a game that does that:

    http://www.pasteall.org/blend/4441

Just run the game; it will generate a bunch of .pypredef files in the
current directory, like this one:

    http://www.pasteall.org/17538/python

Add that directory to the predefined completions tab in Pydev, and
code completion should just work. One caveat: I found that I have to
do my imports like this:

    from bge import logic

Because Pydev won't recognise "bge.logic.getCurrentScene".

I hope this is helpful to someone.
