Auto-completion in ipdb freezes up terminal about jupyter_console HOT 4 CLOSED

Does it work with %debug instead of ipdb.set_trace? If so, it may be that the change is needed on ipdb's side, instead of IPython's.

from jupyter_console.

No it doesn't work with %debug. Here is what I tried:

Change contents of foo.py to

really_long_name = 3
raise ValueError(':(')

Then

$ jupyter console
In [1]: import foo
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-34d390fb3acc> in <module>()
----> 1 import foo

/Users/stefan/foo.py in <module>()
      1 really_long_name = 3
----> 2 raise ValueError(':(')

ValueError: :(

In [2]: %debug
> /Users/stefan/foo.py(2)<module>()
      1 really_long_name = 3
----> 2 raise ValueError(':(')

ipdb>r

Now <TAB> freezes your terminal.

from jupyter_console.

I could reproduce this on two Ubuntu machines and on Mac OS X.

from jupyter_console.

I think I've identified the problem, and #47 should fix it - by which I mean, it prevents the freeze; having completions in the debugger is a much trickier issue, and one that affects all our ZMQ frontends.
