Public bug reported: Running a script as `python -m ipdb myscript.py` or 'ipdb myscript.py`, ipdb's tab auto completion will work with builtins, but not with locals and modules.
Launching ipdb from within the code with `import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()` autocompletion works instead as expected. To reproduce the error call a python script with -m ipdb (e.g. python -m ipdb myscript)), import a module (e.g. import numpy as np) and try to use autocomplete on the module (e.g. np.<TAB>). The expected behavior is to see the list of properties and functions of the module. Nothing happens instead. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Release: 14.04 apt-cache policy python-ipdb python-ipdb: Installed: (none) Candidate: 0.8-1 Version table: 0.8-1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages python --version Python 2.7.6 ** Affects: ipdb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Running a script as `python -m ipdb myscript.py` or 'ipdb myscript.py`, ipdb's tab auto completion will work with builtins, but not with locals and modules.
