hi,

i've upgraded to sage 4.3.2, and it seems to have disturbed the emacs-
mode. When i go

sage: n=1
sage: n.[TAB]

emacs says 'no completions of n.'. It used to give me all the
possibilities in a buffer, which i got addicted to ! It still works
when there isn't a dot, so Ma[TAB] does list MatrixSpace etc.

i've tried to re-install sage-mode of course, to no effect.

is anyone else affected by this ?

Hi,

I've experienced similar problems after upgrading to sage 4.3.2, but I
don't think it's a problem of sage-mode, but rather of sage itself,
since it persists, when running sage from the command line.
Interestingly only for some objects the problem arises.

R = PolynomialRing(QQ, 'x')
f = R.ran <TAB>

completes for R.random_element, while

S = PolynomialRing(QQ, 'x, y')
g = S.random_ele <TAB>

does not complete nor offer any possibilites to complete. Still

g = S.random_element()

returns a random element of S. There is also something very
disturbing about the coefficient method, but I'll open a new thread
for that.
