Merge in all development done in bzr since February 16 2008....
Merge in all development done in bzr since February 16 2008. At that time, a clean bzr branch was started from the SVN tree, but without SVN history. That SVN history has now been used as the basis of this branch, and the development done on the history-less BZR branch has been added and is the content of this merge. This branch will be the new official main line of development in Launchpad (equivalent to the old SVN trunk).

""" Greedy completer extension for IPython
Normal tab completer refuses to evaluate nonsafe stuff. This will evaluate
everything, so you need to consider the consequences of pressing tab
yourself!
Note that this extension simplifies readline interaction by setting
only whitespace as completer delimiter. If this works well, we will
do the same in default completer.

MONKEYPATCHED VERSION (ipy_greedycompleter.py)
Assuming the text is of the form NAME.NAME....[NAME], and is
evaluatable in self.namespace or self.global_namespace, it will be
evaluated and its attributes (as revealed by dir()) are used as
possible completions. (For class instances, class members are are
also considered.)
WARNING: this can still invoke arbitrary C code, if an object
with a __getattr__ hook is evaluated.
