If you suspect this is an IPython 7.19.0 bug, please report it at:
    https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues
or send an email to the mailing list at ipython-dev@python.org

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

This issue's root not due to ipython. Actually coming from jedi package. But ipython also has an error related to this. sys module not imported in get_completions exception.

[ahmetkotan]

sys and traceback modules added 7 months ago but not updated in pypi. Because of this, this error not related to ipython. It's error in jedi.

• forgotten sys
• forgotten traceback

[lociii]

Could you please give some more detailed info on why this is an issue in jedi?
Latest ipython release on PyPI is 7.19.0 which contains the missing import that is - as you already noted - fixed on master but not released.
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/7.19.0/IPython/terminal/ptutils.py

No import of sys

ipython/IPython/terminal/ptutils.py

Lines 20 to 24 in 223e783

	import pygments.lexers as pygments_lexers
	import os
	_completion_sentinel = object()

Usage of sys

ipython/IPython/terminal/ptutils.py

Line 116 in 223e783

exc_type, exc_value, exc_tb = sys.exc_info()

Reading the traceback:

1. The sys and traceback imports are missing in IPython/terminal/ptutils.py, and this is the problem that causes the Ipython crash;
2. In jedi/api/__init__.py, it complains that the "column" argument is passed to Script.__init__, which does not accept such argument;
3. This error comes from IPython/core/completer.py, where at line 1373 a new jedi.Interpreter is created, passing a "column" argument to it, which chokes it.

The way to create a Script object has changed between jedi 0.17 and jedi 0.18:
In 0.17:

     def __init__(self, code=None, line=None, column=None, path=None,                                    
                 encoding=None, sys_path=None, environment=None,                                               
                 project=None, source=None):

in 0.18:

    def __init__(self, code=None, *, path=None, environment=None, project=None):

If you install jedi 0.17 instead of jedi 0.18 the current version of ipython should work.
This worked for me:

pip uninstall jedi
pip install jedi==0.17.2

This worked for me:

pip uninstall jedi
pip install jedi==0.17.2

as jedi 0.18 introduced a breaking change for something as basic as autocompletion, shouldn't jedi dependency be pinned as a solution?

edit: can see there's already a pull request for this. #12783

[Carreau]

#12793 fixes it. IPython master already had the changes.
No, pinning jedi does not work because pip uses a resolver (conda as well), so if I release a new version of IPython that say "jedi < 0.18", the resolver if free to say. "Cool, cool, cool, I'll install jedi=0.18 and don't upgrade IPython".
