Here is how tab completion is working for me:
In [84]: a="string"
In [85]: b = ["str", "ing"]
Tab completion for strings is working here:
In [86]: a.
a.capitalize a.decode a.expandtabs a.index a.isdigit a.istitle a.ljust a.partition a.rindex a.rsplit a.splitlines a.swapcase a.upper
a.center a.encode a.find a.isalnum a.islower a.isupper a.lower a.replace a.rjust a.rstrip a.startswith a.title a.zfill
a.count a.endswith a.format a.isalpha a.isspace a.join a.lstrip a.rfind a.rpartition a.split a.strip a.translate
Tab completion for lists is working here:
In [86]: b.
b.append b.count b.extend b.index b.insert b.pop b.remove b.reverse b.sort
Tab completion for strings is not working here:
In [87]: b[0].
One possible workaround:
In [88]: c = b[0]
In [89]: c.
c.capitalize c.decode c.expandtabs c.index c.isdigit c.istitle c.ljust c.partition c.rindex c.rsplit c.splitlines c.swapcase c.upper
c.center c.encode c.find c.isalnum c.islower c.isupper c.lower c.replace c.rjust c.rstrip c.startswith c.title c.zfill
c.count c.endswith c.format c.isalpha c.isspace c.join c.lstrip c.rfind c.rpartition c.split c.strip c.translate
Is it possible to use completion without mentioned workaround? I'm experiencing similar behavior in ipdb, is it possible to fix this behavior also there? I'm using ipythoon v3.1.0 and ipdb v 0.8. Thanks
create ipython profile:
ipython profile create testing
in ipython_config.py un-comment this line
# Activate greedy completion
#
# This will enable completion on elements of lists, results of function calls,
# etc., but can be unsafe because the code is actually evaluated on TAB.
c.IPCompleter.greedy = True
Load IPython with this profile:
ipython notebook --profile=testing
This gives TAB completion for list members and dictionary keys and values.
One quick alternative is to use dir() method:
dir(b[0])
#returns:
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getnewargs__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mod__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '_formatter_field_name_split', '_formatter_parser', 'capitalize', 'center', 'count', 'decode', 'encode', 'endswith', 'expandtabs', 'find', 'format', 'index', 'isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper', 'join', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lstrip', 'partition', 'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rpartition', 'rsplit', 'rstrip', 'split', 'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', 'translate', 'upper', 'zfill']
Another method is to use Python or IPython interactive console or regular editor in PTVS, which is able to do completions (intellisense) on list elements.
