That's understandable. Since you are a blink user, though, I'm not sure 
if you can really benefit from the popup-like UI.

Maybe try and see if C-M-i works as well for you, and if it doesn't, 
request that elpy integrates with completion-at-point-functions.

The variable that controls it is company-idle-delay. Try:

(setq company-idle-delay nil)

You can find all the customization variables by typing 'M-x 
customize-group RET company'.

Emacs should enter python-mode by default in .py files. If it doesn't, 
what major mode does it use? You can find out by evaluating 
'major-mode'. Press M-: to evaluate an expression.
