Exclamation marks are only for the default profile, this bug is about the sh-profile. This is not an upsteam problem, afaik. Even the ipython manual mentions the use of apt-get with tab-completing package names. See example from Debian sid, with default settings of ipython:
~$ ipython -p sh IPython 0.8.2 [on Py 2.4.5] [~]|1> apt-cache search ipython ipython - enhanced interactive Python shell lampython - MPI-enhanced Python interpreter (LAM based version) mpichpython - MPI-enhanced Python interpreter (MPICH based version) [~]|2> -- ipython sh profile not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209549 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
