[IPython-dev] question about generics.complete_object

[Darren Dale]

How is generics.complete_object supposed to work in the trunk? I have
a custom completer that uses it, and it used to work, but now
complete_object keeps returning TryNext:

In [12]: generics.complete_object('foo', dir('foo'))

Is this a bug, or am I expecting functionality that no longer exists?
