In [1]: import IPython.<TAB HERE>
IPython.ColorANSI           IPython.Shell               IPython.numutils
IPython.ConfigLoader        IPython.background_jobs     IPython.os
IPython.CrashHandler        IPython.completer           IPython.platutils
IPython.DPyGetOpt           IPython.deep_reload         IPython.platutils_dummy
IPython.Debugger            IPython.demo                IPython.platutils_posix

[etc...]


I always run 'live' from the raw SVN directory where I work, and I
have the main IPython directory symlinked from a directory that's in
my $PYTHONPATH.

Cheers,
