Ipython adds extra space after successful completion

[Joe_Bishop]

Binary package hint: ipython

It breaks successive autocompletion. For example, imp<Tab> -> import<space><space>, and no suggestions available for module names after that, but if they remove the second space, suggestions become available. The similar situation with attribute completion:
bugaga="some text here"
buga<tab> -> bugaga<space>, and no suggestions available after that for attributes.
So, the expected behaviour for autocompletion is not to add anything after successful one.

I can confirm this. It didn't happen in Jaunty, so I consider this a regression.

same here. renders it almost unusable. :-(

Not only is this a dupe ipython report, in fact it's ultimately a Python bug:

Closing, as there's nothing we can do about it until a new Python release is made with the fix.
