IPython auto-completion emacs24 doesn't work

Question

I'm using emacs24.0.92 with IPython 12. I took ipython.el file from IPython repository and also tried this patch however auto-completion still does not work for me. Can someone give any hint about it ?

Answer 1

That's an old question but since I was looking for it:

1- python-mode.el

A quick search lead me to this working solution: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PythonProgrammingInEmacs#toc5

2- jedi

You still can use the completion given by jedi.el:

Install with packages.el and call M-x jedi:setup. Now the completion fires at the third character. We still can not inspect an object with TAB like in a terminal, but with the 1st solution we can. edit: false, it's just a matter of configuration: http://tkf.github.io/emacs-jedi/released/#configuration (use jedi:complete-on-dot to complete as soon as we enter a dot).
