IPython/core/completer.py

"""Completion for IPython.

This module started as 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,

This module now support a wide variety of completion mechanism both available
for normal classic Python code, as well as completer for IPython specific
Syntax like magics.

Latex and Unicode completion
============================

IPython and compatible frontends not only can complete your code, but can help
you to input a wide range of characters. In particular we allow you to insert
a unicode character using the tab completion mechanism.

Forward latex/unicode completion
--------------------------------

Forward completion allows you to easily type a unicode character using its latex
name, or unicode long description. To do so type a backslash follow by the
relevant name and press tab:


Using latex completion:

.. code::

    \\alpha<tab>
    α

or using unicode completion:


.. code::

    \\greek small letter alpha<tab>
    α


Only valid Python identifiers will complete. Combining characters (like arrow or
dots) are also available, unlike latex they need to be put after the their
counterpart that is to say, `F\\\\vec<tab>` is correct, not `\\\\vec<tab>F`.

Some browsers are known to display combining characters incorrectly.

Backward latex completion
-------------------------

It is sometime challenging to know how to type a character, if you are using
IPython, or any compatible frontend you can prepend backslash to the character
and press `<tab>` to expand it to its latex form.

.. code::

    \\α<tab>
    \\alpha


Both forward and backward completions can be deactivated by setting the
``Completer.backslash_combining_completions`` option to ``False``.


Experimental
============

Starting with IPython 6.0, this module can make use of the Jedi library to
generate completions both using static analysis of the code, and dynamically
inspecting multiple namespaces. The APIs attached to this new mechanism is
unstable and will raise unless use in an :any:`provisionalcompleter` context
manager.

You will find that the following are experimental:

    - :any:`provisionalcompleter`
    - :any:`IPCompleter.completions`
    - :any:`Completion`
    - :any:`rectify_completions`

.. note::

    better name for :any:`rectify_completions` ?

We welcome any feedback on these new API, and we also encourage you to try this
module in debug mode (start IPython with ``--Completer.debug=True``) in order
to have extra logging information is :any:`jedi` is crashing, or if current
IPython completer pending deprecations are returning results not yet handled
by :any:`jedi`

Using Jedi for tab completion allow snippets like the following to work without
having to execute any code:

   >>> myvar = ['hello', 42]
   ... myvar[1].bi<tab>

Tab completion will be able to infer that ``myvar[1]`` is a real number without
executing any code unlike the previously available ``IPCompleter.greedy``
option.

Be sure to update :any:`jedi` to the latest stable version or to try the
current development version to get better completions.

        Parameters
        ----------
        
        text:str
            Full text of the current input, multi line string.
        offset:int
            Integer representing the position of the cursor in ``text``. Offset
            is 0-based indexed.

        Yields
        ------
            :any:`Completion` object


        The cursor on a text can either be seen as being "in between"
        characters or "On" a character depending on the interface visible to
        the user. For consistency the cursor being on "in between" characters X
        and Y is equivalent to the cursor being "on" character Y, that is to say
        the character the cursor is on is considered as being after the cursor.

        Combining characters may span more that one position in the
        text.

        Core completion module.Same signature as :any:`completions`, with the

        Computing jedi's completion ``.type`` can be quite expensive (it is a
        lazy property) and can require some warm-up, more warm up than just
        computing the ``name`` of a completion. The warm-up can be :

            - Long warm-up the first time a module is encountered after
            install/update: actually build parse/inference tree.

            - first time the module is encountered in a session: load tree from
            disk.

        We don't want to block completions for tens of seconds so we give the
        completer a "budget" of ``_timeout`` seconds per invocation to compute
        completions types, the completions that have not yet been computed will
        be marked as "unknown" an will have a chance to be computed next round
        are things get cached.

        Keep in mind that Jedi is not the only thing treating the completion so
        keep the timeout short-ish as if we take more than 0.3 second we still
        have lots of processing to do.
