No worries. I appreciate your valuable feedback for improving the
quality of the patch.

except using IPython with non-native completion mechanism.

Because module names cannot be completed using vanilla python
interpreter in the terminal, they are also not completed even with the
patch, unless jedi is available.

Thanks for pointing it out. The attached patch should now restore
previous basic completion behavior in comments.
