Q1/ I run a standard python ditribution with ipython and readline under cygwin. The tab filename completion works fine in the OS (bash shell) as expected, and tab filename completion at the ipython command line works, but with MS style path separators (backslash: run examples \test.py) which the run command itself interprets unix style ERROR: File `examplestest.py` not found.
Also Q2/ can I "less" or "grep" the output from help(my_fun) Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] IPython 0.8.4 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
