generics.complete_object broken about ipython HOT 2 CLOSED

It's not clear if the original reporter was attempting to use this correctly. complete_objects is a generic, and should be extended like this:

@generics.complete_object.when_type(MyClass):
def f(myclass_obj, prev_completions):
    return #Stuff from myclass_obj

(there's also a when_object decorator for specific objects)

The TryNext errors are raised when it doesn't find a matching type or object to dispatch to, and appear to be caught in core/completer.py (line 372). So I'm not sure that this is actually a bug.

I agree with Thomas, closing. This was incorrect usage of the generic, not a bug.
