Use GitHub Copilot to complete lines in iPython

IPython Copilot Completer

IPython Copilot Completer is a plugin for the IPython interactive shell that provides line completion using GitHub Copilot.

Installation

# Method 1: wheel
V="0.0.10"
wget https://github.com/bragradon/ipython-copilot-completer/releases/download/v$V/IPython_Copilot_Completer-$V-py3-none-any.whl
pip install IPython_Copilot_Completer-$V-py3-none-any.whl

# Method 2: local install
git clone https://github.com/bragradon/ipython-copilot-completer.git
cd ipython-copilot-completer
pip install -e .

Once installed, you can activate the plugin by running the following command in an IPython session:

%load_ext copilot_completer

Configuration

You will need to provide a GitHub Copilot API Token to use IPython Copilot Completer. You can obtain a token by running the following magic command in an IPython session:

%copilot_login

This will open a browser window where you can log in to GitHub and generate a token.

Save the token and set it via the GITHUB_COPILOT_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable so you don't have to login again next time.

Get this onto pypi

Todo list:

• signup to pypi.org
• Research a github action that can publish this to pypi
• Clean up setup.py (or add setup.cfg) so all the metadata is there
• Setup action to publish

(and/or get help to do the above)

Be able to get a proper access token from github via the device API

The MITM approach to get the token is not great.

It be better to have the extension open the browser so the user can get a proper token which can then be saved in the ipython profile

Wheel file doesn't exist for current release

The README tells us to wget the current release file's wheel file (.whl extension) from github and use that to download from wheel. But it doesn't exist in the current release for 0.0.9 while it does for previous releases.
