[IPython-dev] New Feature, feedback requested, IPython Jedi Completions

[Matthias Bussonnier]

So small update,

Integrating with jedi completion had a few undesired side-effect, well
roll back the integration for 5.0 and rework it for 6.0.
So no jedi for now...

Still for it was a nice experience and the integration in 6.0 should
improve completion a lot.

Thanks !
