cd completer: no longer greedy. If you are using a buggy readline that inserts spaces after completions (so you need to press backspace), do import ipy_completers ipy_completers.greedy_cd_completer = True

""" 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.
