| """Word completion for GNU readline 2.0. |
| |
| This requires the latest extension to the readline module. The completer |
| completes keywords, built-ins and globals in a selectable namespace (which |
| defaults to __main__); when completing NAME.NAME..., it evaluates (!) the |
| expression up to the last dot and completes its attributes. |
| |
| It's very cool to do "import sys" type "sys.", hit the |
| completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the |
| sys module! |
| |
| Tip: to use the tab key as the completion key, call |
| |
| readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete") |
| |
| Notes: |
| |
| - Exceptions raised by the completer function are *ignored* (and |
| generally cause the completion to fail). This is a feature -- since |
| readline sets the tty device in raw (or cbreak) mode, printing a |
| traceback wouldn't work well without some complicated hoopla to save, |
| reset and restore the tty state. |
| |
| - The evaluation of the NAME.NAME... form may cause arbitrary |
| application defined code to be executed if an object with a |
| __getattr__ hook is found. Since it is the responsibility of the |
| application (or the user) to enable this feature, I consider this an |
| acceptable risk. More complicated expressions (e.g. function calls or |
| indexing operations) are *not* evaluated. |
| |
| - When the original stdin is not a tty device, GNU readline is never |
| used, and this module (and the readline module) are silently inactive. |
