Tab completion crashes IPython

Describe the bug

When using mne in IPython, pressing tab for tab-completion often (but not always) causes IPython to crash. This doesn’t happen when using objects that are not from mne-python.

Steps to reproduce

In IPython, execute the following code:

import mne
import os
from mne.datasets import multimodal

fname_raw = os.path.join(multimodal.data_path(), 'multimodal_raw.fif')
raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(fname_raw)
cond = raw.acqparser.get_condition(raw, 'Auditory right')
epochs = mne.Epochs(raw, **cond)

Then type epochs.in and press tab.

Expected results

The list of tab-completion possibilities appears, or it autocompletes to epochs.info.

Actual results

IPython hangs for several seconds, then crashes. (Sometimes it works correctly.)

In [4]: epochs.in

If you suspect this is an IPython 7.12.0 bug, please report it at:
    https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues
or send an email to the mailing list at [e-mail]

You can print a more detailed traceback right now with "%tb", or use "%debug"
to interactively debug it.

Extra-detailed tracebacks for bug-reporting purposes can be enabled via:
    %config Application.verbose_crash=True

Then it exits IPython and returns you to the login prompt.

[gbrookshire]

Thanks – good to know! It looks like setting IPython to use a different autocompleter fixes the problem. In case anyone else runs into this problem, here’s the solution: %config IPCompleter.use_jedi = False
