     This is a workaround for a weird IPython/Prompt_toolkit behavior,
     that can be removed once we rely on a slightly more recent prompt_toolkit
     version (likely > 1.0.3). So this can likely be removed in IPython 6.0
 
     cf https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/9658
     and https://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit/pull/328
 
     The bug is due to the fact that in PTK the completer will reinvoke itself
     after trying to completer to the longuest common prefix of all the
     completions, unless only one completion is available.
 
     This logic is faulty if the completion ends with space, which can happen in
     case like::
 
         from foo import im<ta>
 
     which only matching completion is `import `. Note the leading space at the
     end. So leaving a space at the end is a reasonable request, but for now
     we'll strip it.

         - global_namespace: secondary optional dict for completions, to
           handle cases (such as IPython embedded inside functions) where
           both Python scopes are visible.
 
         use_readline : bool, optional
           If true, use the readline library.  This completer can still function
