[Python-mode] python-mode and ipython.el

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

nevermind -- debugged situation... problem is inherent to ipython and
somewhat non-robustness of ipython.el.

FWIW:

ipython 0.10 (in Debian sid/squeeze) has issue handling its ad-hoc way
to silence it down for some calls: e.g.
in fixed 0.10.1:

In [1]: print 1 # PYTHON-MODE SILENT
1


while in 0.10:
In [1]: print 1 # PYTHON-MODE SILENT
------> print(1 # PYTHON-MODE SILENT)
   ...: 
   ...: 
   ...: 
   ...: 
goes on

as a quick work-around if someone hits it as well:

    (setq ipython-completion-command-string
          "print(';'.join(__IP.Completer.all_completions('%s'))) #PYTHON-MODE SILENT\n")


Cheers
