> Ipython is pretty smart doing autocompletion and output coloring but
> python.el is currently getting in its way:
>
> 1) The coloring is heuristic at best. It's ok for the vanilla python
> interpreter but not nearly as good as ipython's. Not only keywords and
> identifiers are colored in non-code contexts, but also string quoting
> gets often messed up. I think the best option is to disable font lock by
> default when the interpreter is ipython.
>
> 2) Autocompletion of magic commands is broken. Autocompletion of paths
> is broken. Maybe another kind of ipython specific autocompletion is
> broken too. Currently the autocompletion prefix is parsed from the
> buffer using a "dotty" syntax table that includes '.' and '_' as part of
> identifiers. Clearly this is not enough to play well with ipython. But
> fortunately it's not necessary to be too smart. Sendind the prefix up to
> the first preceding whitespace char will do the trick.
>
> So I propose to:
>
> i) Disable font lock by default for ipython.
> ii) Parsing the prefix up to whitespace char for ipython autocompletion.
>
> I think these solutions are very simple and will improve the ipython
> experience a lot. Obviously the color theme will differ from the one for
> python-mode but this is a minor annoyance for such gain in simplicity.
