jedi is not working under Jupyter notebook

[luwei0917]

If I have
data = ['Number of users', 123_456]
then, I want to
dat[0].TAB
show functions for string.
This work on my ipython terminal(version 6.1), but not on jupyter notebook.
When I do TAB, it only show some file start with "."

on the ipython website(http://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/whatsnew/version6.html) it says
"Extra patches and updates will be needed to the ipykernel package for this feature to be available to other clients like Jupyter Notebook, Lab, Nteract, Hydrogen..."
I don't know what this means.

my jupyter notebook version is 5.1
python version
Python 3.6.1 |Anaconda custom (x86_64)| (default, May 11 2017, 13:04:09)

data = ['Number of users', '123_456']
item = data[0]
item.

Press TAB at the end of the above results in a list of methods like you expect. It appears like the trailing ] in data[0] is throwing off the tab completions because I'm seeing filenames, magic functions, and globals all in the same list.

@Carreau Is this expected behavior?

@Carreau Is this expected behavior?

Yes and No,

Lots of the information is returned under an _experimental key as the protocol would need changes to support all the informations in the habitual position. If the notebook does not make use of this key then nothing more will be show in the UI than classical completions.

Recent IPykernel should return better completions, but have not been released yet so it should show up in the notebook once someone has the time to look into releasing Ipykernel.

Once this is done, when user upgrade they should automatically get better completions.

Thanks for the explanation!

@Carreau - does this issue still awaits kernel release?
