Okay, I put in a horrible catch-all in this, so if there are any curses errors it'll just go "oh well" and try to display the list window anyway. This is a terrible "fix", but it at least stops bpython from crashing. This will of course all go away when I finish writing my curses lib. :)

I can reproduce, however it fails as soon as I do help(XML [tab] and then type the ( myself.

Right, I should have said lxml version is 2.2.

I've updated to changeset 239 but I still can reproduce the crash. I've tried your method to execute from the source directory.

By the way, I've noticed "help" has nothing to do with it. Just expanding behind "XMLParser(" is enough.

I'll drop in the channel tomorrow.

Looks like I was using an old version of lxml - with the new version I could reproduce the problem.

I've fixed it in the tip now - please pull/update and see if you still experience any problems. I'm going to be gutting all of the code that creates these problems soon-ish so the whole thing should look a whole lot better then.

Hi, thanks for reporting the issue but, unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce it.

Are you definitely running the version you think you're running ? setuptools can make things confusing in terms of this - try running it as
{{{
cd bpython
PYTHONPATH=. python bpython/cli.py
}}}

One thing that makes me think you're not using the tip is because, due to some changes elsewhere, the parenthesis is not added onto the end of callables on completion anymore (and the parenthesis is not shown in the completion list).

Would it be possible for you to come to our IRC channel so we can try to get to the bottom of this ? #bpython on irc.freenode.net

Thanks :)
