Agree. That's known at lp:939320

ipython-complete also uses the ipython-process, thus incrementing the
prompt counter. Changing the py-complete-function into
py-completion-at-point should avoid this - however it completes from
common Python, ignores IPython symbols, so it's probably not the
solution yet.
