Jedi completion not working in the notebook

[Brendan Barnwell]

I recently was doing some stuff with Python in a Jupyer notebook and was bothered by the autocomplete behavior.  Doing a little research I saw that it's supposed to now be using Jedi for the autocompletion.  But something seems to be awry, because if I try the example here (https://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/ipython-dev/2016-May/017099.html):

('je'+'di').upper().<tab>

. . . the only completion I get is "ipynb_checkpoints/", which seems to be some kind of global generic completion.

The reason I'm asking here on Jupyter list is that the completion works correctly if I try it in a console IPython session.  So it seems something is misconfigured
between IPython and Jupyter.  Do I need to do something special to get this new completion working in Jupyter?

Hi Brendan,

The Jedi API has been added to IPython _terminal_, and master of
IPykernel does make use of it. Though the notebook application does
not handle (yet) the received information. This is still experimental
as it requires some changes of the protocol we want to make sure we
get right.

Sorry for the confusion.
