Autocompletion stops working after creating an InteractiveShellEmbed object

[amelio-vazquez-reina]

I am using the latest stable IPython (2.2.0) and pyreadline (2.0). I am having problems with autocompletion with both Python 2.7.8 and Python 3.3.5.

Autocompletion works fine until I run:
ipshell = InteractiveShellEmbed(config=cfg, banner1=banner_msg, exit_msg=exit_msg)

where I have previously issued the following command:
from IPython.terminal.embed import InteractiveShellEmbed

I can still autocomplete packages and names e.g.:

• from num[TAB] completes to numpy,
• numpy.[TAB] shows suggestions as well

Why is this? Is it a bug? Expected?

When you say problems with autocompletion, what do you mean? If I read it correctly, I only see examples that do work, not the examples that do not.

Sorry I didn't clarify earlier @minrk. It is variables specifically or functions what do not autocomplete.
