Steps for reproduce: * start emacs: emacs -Q * create an empty python buffer: C-x b foo.py RET * turn on python mode: M-x python-mode RET * start interpreter: C-c C-z (python-shell-switch-to-shell) and answer the prompts (I pressed RET n) * switch back to python buffer: C-x o (other-window) * type "from os import " (there is a space after "import") * press C-M-i (completion-at-point) Observed behaviour: "import " is inserted in the buffer. The buffer now contains "from os import import ". Expected behaviour: completion-at-point offers names from the os module as completion candidates.
