Long pauses when Pythonista attempts to autocomplete in the console

Hi,

I've really enjoyed using Pythonista on my iPad 3 as I learn Python. I have a question, however; in the console, or whatever it is called, I type something like r = requests.get(url). Works fine. But later, if I type r. (with the intention of typing r.text to search the text of a page) there is a pause of around 15-20 seconds.

My guess is that Pythonista is trying to auto-complete, because after some time the auto-complete list does show up.
Is there any way to make this faster, or is this expected?

Thanks, this seems to be requests-specific, as I've not yet seen this with other modules, but I'm not quite sure yet what's causing the slowness. I'll look into it.
