Wildcard completion in IPython

November 10, 2014

I wanted to look up all the top-level, grid related functions available in NumPy. On the IPython shell, on a whim, I typed:

import numpy as np
np.*grid*?

not knowing what to expect. It did just what I wanted:

np.meshgrid
np.mgrid
np.ogrid

That made my day. Thanks, IPython!
