`IPython.core.completer:IPCompleter.complete`

Signature

   def     complete (    self    ,    text    =  None   ,    line_buffer    =  None   ,    cursor_pos    =  None     )   →  tuple[str, Sequence[str]]

Find completions for the given text and line context.

Note that both the text and the line_buffer are optional, but at least one of them must be given.

text : string, optional: Text to perform the completion on. If not given, the line buffer is split using the instance's CompletionSplitter object.
line_buffer : string, optional: If not given, the completer attempts to obtain the current line buffer via readline. This keyword allows clients which are requesting for text completions in non-readline contexts to inform the completer of the entire text.
cursor_pos : int, optional: Index of the cursor in the full line buffer. Should be provided by remote frontends where kernel has no access to frontend state.

This API is likely to be deprecated and replaced by IPCompleter.completions in the future.
