| 1 | """Word completion for GNU readline 2.0.
|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | This requires the latest extension to the readline module. The completer
|
|---|
| 4 | completes keywords, built-ins and globals in a selectable namespace (which
|
|---|
| 5 | defaults to __main__); when completing NAME.NAME..., it evaluates (!) the
|
|---|
| 6 | expression up to the last dot and completes its attributes.
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | It's very cool to do "import sys" type "sys.", hit the
|
|---|
| 9 | completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the
|
|---|
| 10 | sys module!
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | Notes:
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | - Exceptions raised by the completer function are *ignored* (and
|
|---|
| 19 | generally cause the completion to fail). This is a feature -- since
|
|---|
| 20 | readline sets the tty device in raw (or cbreak) mode, printing a
|
|---|
| 21 | traceback wouldn't work well without some complicated hoopla to save,
|
|---|
| 22 | reset and restore the tty state.
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | - The evaluation of the NAME.NAME... form may cause arbitrary
|
|---|
| 25 | application defined code to be executed if an object with a
|
|---|
| 26 | __getattr__ hook is found. Since it is the responsibility of the
|
|---|
| 27 | application (or the user) to enable this feature, I consider this an
|
|---|
| 28 | acceptable risk. More complicated expressions (e.g. function calls or
|
|---|
| 29 | indexing operations) are *not* evaluated.
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | - GNU readline is also used by the built-in functions input() and
|
|---|
| 32 | raw_input(), and thus these also benefit/suffer from the completer
|
|---|
| 33 | features. Clearly an interactive application can benefit by
|
|---|
| 34 | specifying its own completer function and using raw_input() for all
|
|---|
| 35 | its input.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | - When the original stdin is not a tty device, GNU readline is never
|
|---|
| 38 | used, and this module (and the readline module) are silently inactive.
