Hi Stan, It seems that trait_names() was originally added as part of a mechanism for giving tab-completion to certain objects in IPython and the Notebook, and this mechanism changed. Hence what used to be trait_names() is now called _tab_completion() -- at least units.energy._tab_completion() does exactly what units.energy.trait_names() used to do, after #20410. You should be able to change your existing code to use that instead.
But since trait_names() was a public API method, there should have definitely been added a deprecation warning in #20410 instead of just simply removing trait_names. Also, it seems the function is useful from some user-perspectives, such as your own, so perhaps there should be a publicly accessible version of _tab_completion() as well?
