 """Word completion for IPython.
 
 This module is a fork of the rlcompleter module in the Python standard
 library.  The original enhancements made to rlcompleter have been sent
 upstream and were accepted as of Python 2.3, but we need a lot more
 functionality specific to IPython, so this module will continue to live as an
 IPython-specific utility.
 
 Original rlcompleter documentation:
 
 This requires the latest extension to the readline module (the
 completes keywords, built-ins and globals in __main__; when completing
 NAME.NAME..., it evaluates (!) the expression up to the last dot and
 completes its attributes.
 
 It's very cool to do "import string" type "string.", hit the
 completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the
 string module!
 
 Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call
 
     readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
 
 Notes:
 
 - Exceptions raised by the completer function are *ignored* (and
 generally cause the completion to fail).  This is a feature -- since
 readline sets the tty device in raw (or cbreak) mode, printing a
 traceback wouldn't work well without some complicated hoopla to save,
 reset and restore the tty state.
 
 - The evaluation of the NAME.NAME... form may cause arbitrary
 application defined code to be executed if an object with a
 __getattr__ hook is found.  Since it is the responsibility of the
 application (or the user) to enable this feature, I consider this an
 acceptable risk.  More complicated expressions (e.g. function calls or
 indexing operations) are *not* evaluated.
 
 - GNU readline is also used by the built-in functions input() and
 raw_input(), and thus these also benefit/suffer from the completer
 features.  Clearly an interactive application can benefit by
 specifying its own completer function and using raw_input() for all
 its input.
 
 - When the original stdin is not a tty device, GNU readline is never
 used, and this module (and the readline module) are silently inactive.
