Thanks. I think there's a method by which objects can expose extra things for tab completion to IPython, but I that's a lower priority. Just looking at the code, I think we'd need to register the DataFrame type with |

This one might need some discussion, but I think it makes sense.
If a column name in a dataframe is a valid Python name and doesn't conflict with any DataFrame attributes, this lets you type
df.MyColumnthandf['MyColumn']. That's much handier for interactive use, especially because IPython will tab completedf.MyColumn.<tab>, while it won't by default tab completedf['MyColumn'].<tab>.This doesn't interfere with accessing columns through the dictionary interface.
