     >>> data = ['Number of users', 123_456]
     ... data[0].<tab>
 
 That is to say, IPython is now capable of inferring that `data[0]` is a string,
 and will suggest completions like `.capitalize`. The completion power of IPython

 are already available on the development version of :any:`jedi` if you are curious.
 
 With the help of prompt toolkit, types of completions can be shown in the
 completer interface:

     :align: center
     :width: 400px
     :target: ../_images/jedi_type_inference_60.png
 
 The appearance of the completer is controlled by the
 ``c.TerminalInteractiveShell.display_completions`` option that will show the
 type differently depending on the value among ``'column'``, ``'multicolumn'``
 and ``'readlinelike'``

 Extra patches and updates will be needed to the :mod:`ipykernel` package for
 this feature to be available to other clients like Jupyter Notebook, Lab,
 Nteract, Hydrogen...

 Python 3 only codebase
 ----------------------
 
 One of the large challenges in IPython 6.0 has been the adoption of a pure
-Python 3 codebase, which leads us to great length to upstream patches in pip,
-pypi and warehouse to make sure Python 2 system still upgrade to the latest
-compatible Python version compatible.

 automatically upgrade to the latest version compatible with your system.
 
 .. warning::
 
   If you are on a system using an older version of pip on Python 2, pip may
   still install IPython 6.0 on your system, and IPython will refuse to start.
   You can fix this by upgrading pip, and reinstalling ipython, or forcing pip to
   install an earlier version: ``pip install 'ipython<6'``

+The ability to use only Python 3 on the code base of IPython brings a number
 of advantages. Most of the newly written code make use of `optional function type
 annotation <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/>`_ leading to clearer code
 and better documentation.
 
 The total size of the repository has also decreased by about 1500 lines (for the 
 first time excluding the big split for 4.0). The decrease is potentially
 a bit more for the sour as some documents like this one are append only and
 are about 300 lines long.

 Configurable TerminalInteractiveShell, readline interface
 ---------------------------------------------------------
 
 IPython gained a new ``c.TerminalIPythonApp.interactive_shell_class`` option
 that allows customizing the class used to start the terminal frontend. This
 should allow a user to use custom interfaces, like reviving the former readline
 interface which is now a separate package not actively maintained by the core
 team. See the project to bring back the readline interface: `rlipython
 <https://github.com/ipython/rlipython>`_.
 
 This change will be backported to the IPython 5.x series.
 
-Miscs improvements
-------------------
+Misc improvements
+-----------------
 
 
 - The :cellmagic:`capture` magic can now capture the result of a cell (from
   an expression on the last line), as well as printed and displayed output.
   :ghpull:`9851`.
 
 - Pressing Ctrl-Z in the terminal debugger now suspends IPython, as it already
   does in the main terminal prompt.
 
 - Autoreload can now reload ``Enum``. See :ghissue:`10232` and :ghpull:`10316`
 
 - IPython.display has gained a :any:`GeoJSON <IPython.display.GeoJSON>` object.
   :ghpull:`10288` and :ghpull:`10253`
 
 Functions Deprecated in 6.x Development cycle
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 - Loading extensions from ``ipython_extension_dir`` prints a warning that this
   location is pending deprecation. This should only affect users still having
   extensions installed with ``%install_ext`` which has been deprecated since
   IPython 4.0, and removed in 5.0. Extensions still present in
   ``ipython_extension_dir`` may shadow more recently installed versions using
   pip. It is thus recommended to clean ``ipython_extension_dir`` of any
   extension now available as a package.
 
 
 - ``IPython.utils.warn`` was deprecated in IPython 4.0, and has now been removed.
   instead of ``IPython.utils.warn`` inbuilt :any:`warnings` module is used.
 
 
 - The function `IPython.core.oinspect.py:call_tip` is unused, was marked as
   deprecated (raising a `DeprecationWarning`) and marked for later removal.
   :ghpull:`10104`
 
 Backward incompatible changes
 ------------------------------
 
 Functions Removed in 6.x Development cycle
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 The following functions have been removed in the
 development cycle marked for Milestone 6.0.
 
 - ``IPython/utils/process.py`` - ``is_cmd_found``
 - ``IPython/utils/process.py`` - ``pycmd2argv``
 
 - The `--deep-reload` flag and the corresponding options to inject `dreload` or
   `reload` into the interactive namespace have been removed. You have to
   explicitly import `reload` from `IPython.lib.deepreload` to use it.
