[IPython-user] tab complete questions

[Andre Walker-Loud]

Hi All,

I am confused by the tab completion in ipython.

First, I am running OSX 10.5 on intell, python 2.6, ipython 0.10, and  
I have corrected the "readline" problem.

OK first, I have added "mypath" to sys.path.  When I import a module  
which lives in "mypath/bin", everything works.  But, when I do

In [XX]: run my_script.py

it fails :(

ERROR: File `my_script.py` not found.


However, if I do

In [XX+1]: run mypath/bin/my_script.py

then it works.  Why can't it find the file?


A probably related problem:  my_script.py process data files I have.   
If I have data1.dat in the directory I am in, then

In [XX]: run mypath/bin/my_script.py da [tab complete]


works and finds the file.  However, if the data1.dat files in in a  
subdirectory, say mydir/data1.dat, then the tab complete no longer  
works.

In [XX]: run mypath/bin/my_script.py mydir/dat [tab complete]

eh, eh, eh (the sound of my mac telling me "don't know what you want  
me to do")


So, is this how it works in ipython?  Do I have some goofy setup I am  
unaware of?  Anyone else have this issue?


Thanks,

Andre
