Elpy auto-complete gives incomplete suggestions

Question

I am trying to use Elpy for Emacs to write Python programs. The auto-complete feature suggests all attributes of PyQt5 classes, but suggests only a subset of the attributes of instances of these classes.

All attributes of the class QLabel are suggested when I type this in Emacs:

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel
app = QApplication([])
label = QLabel()
QLabel.

However, if I replace the last line with:

label.

then only a small subset of the attributes are suggested. (The missing attributes include those marked as "module" when I type QLabel. For example the method getText() is missing.) This is strange because Elpy (or company or jedi?) clearly knows the type of label to be able to suggest a subset of its attributes!

I am using a fresh install of kubuntu 18.04, with Emacs 25 and Python 3 installed from packages, and follow the Installation instructions for Elpy.

apt install python3 python3-pip emacs
pip3 install virtualenvwrapper

I use a virtual environment called elpy with these packages installed:

(elpy) prompt$ pip list
Package     Version

appdirs     1.4.3

toml        0.10.0 
wheel       0.33.1 
yapf        0.26.0

Here is my .emacs.d/init.el:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
(elpy-enable)
(custom-set-variables
 '(package-selected-packages (quote (elpy))))
(custom-set-faces)

Output from elpy-config:

Virtualenv........: elpy (/home/asbuch/lib/virtualenvs/elpy)
RPC Python........: 3.6.7 (/home/asbuch/lib/virtualenvs/elpy/bin/python)

Any help is greatly appreciated!
