-H5py ships with a custom ipython completer, which provides object introspection
-and tab completion for h5py objects in an ipython session. For example, if a
-file contains 3 groups, "foo", "bar", and "baz"::
-
-   In [4]: f['b<TAB>
-   bar   baz
-
-   In [4]: f['f<TAB>
-   # Completes to:
-   In [4]: f['foo'
-
-   In [4]: f['foo'].<TAB>
-   f['foo'].attrs            f['foo'].items            f['foo'].ref
-   f['foo'].copy             f['foo'].iteritems        f['foo'].require_dataset
-   f['foo'].create_dataset   f['foo'].iterkeys         f['foo'].require_group
-   f['foo'].create_group     f['foo'].itervalues       f['foo'].values
-   f['foo'].file             f['foo'].keys             f['foo'].visit
-   f['foo'].get              f['foo'].name             f['foo'].visititems
-   f['foo'].id               f['foo'].parent
-
-The easiest way to enable the custom completer is to do the following in an
-IPython session::
-
-   In  [1]: import h5py
-
-   In [2]: h5py.enable_ipython_completer()
-
-It is also possible to configure IPython to enable the completer every time you
-start a new session. For >=ipython-0.11, "h5py.ipy_completer" just needs to be
-added to the list of extensions in your ipython config file, for example
-:file:`~/.config/ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py` (if this file does
-not exist, you can create it by invoking `ipython profile create`)::
-
-   c = get_config()
-   c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions = ['h5py.ipy_completer']
-
-For <ipython-0.11, the completer can be enabled by adding the following lines
-to the :func:`main` in :file:`.ipython/ipy_user_conf.py`::
-
-   def main():
-       ip.ex('from h5py import ipy_completer')
-       ip.ex('ipy_completer.load_ipython_extension()')
