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