[Bug 434516] [NEW] ipython (readline?) autocomplete issue

[Joe_Bishop]

Public bug reported:

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:	9.10

$ apt-cache policy ipython
ipython:
  Installed: 0.9.1-3ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.9.1-3ubuntu2
  Version table:

Enter name of existing object, then dot, then begin to enter method name. When completion would have only one choice press tab. It completed method name and cursor was placed just after the method name before, but now it put additional space character after the method name, but it's a wrong behaviour because we may call method of the method (ie put another dot after the method name). Syntactically it's OK, they can put space after object name and then put dot, but ipython autocompletion doesn't work after this for methods. So, we don't need space character after any autocompletion.
Example:
In [1]: a=''

In [2]: a.strip ()   ### it put additional space after "strip"
Out[2]: ''

In [3]:
