Availability: Unix.
The rlcompleter module defines a completion function for the readline module by completing valid Python identifiers and keywords.
This module is Unix-specific due to its dependence on the readline module.
The rlcompleter module defines the Completer class.
Example:
>>> import rlcompleter
>>> import readline
>>> readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
>>> readline. <TAB PRESSED>
readline.__doc__ readline.get_line_buffer readline.read_init_file
readline.__file__ readline.insert_text readline.set_completer
readline.__name__ readline.parse_and_bind
>>> readline.
The rlcompleter module is designed for use with Python's interactive mode. A user can add the following lines to his or her initialization file (identified by the PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable) to get automatic Tab completion:
try:
import readline
except ImportError:
print "Module readline not available."
else:
import rlcompleter
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
