RE: [PyCrust] FW: underscore kills command completion

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

That solves one problem, but creates another. Apply the change and then run
PyCrust and type:

>>> shell._

This matches nothing, while this:

>>> filling._

Matches just fine. (Well, sort of. See below.). Both objects have attributes
with leading underscores at the end of their lists.

Here are some more examples:

>>> ''._ (fails)
>>> []._ (succeeds on most, but fails to match on >>> [].__d)
>>> {}._ (succeeds, sort of, but fails to match on >>> {}.__cmp)

Something is still broken in the search routine. Any chance a linear search
would be good enough for what is usually a fairly reasonable sized list?
