"rlcompleter" --- Completion function for GNU readline#

Código fuente: Lib/rlcompleter.py

======================================================================

The "rlcompleter" module defines a completion function suitable to be passed to "set_completer()" in the "readline" module.

When this module is imported on a Unix platform with the "readline" module available, an instance of the "Completer" class is automatically created and its "complete()" method is set as the readline completer. The method provides completion of valid Python identifiers and keywords.

Ejemplo:

import rlcompleter import readline readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete") readline. 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. Unless Python is run with the "-S" option, the module is automatically imported and configured (see Configuración de Readline).

En plataformas sin "readline", la clase "Completer" definida por este módulo puede ser usada igualmente para fines personalizados.

class rlcompleter.Completer

Los objetos de completado tienen el siguiente método:

complete(text, state)

  Return the next possible completion for *text*.

  When called by the "readline" module, this method is called
  successively with "state == 0, 1, 2, ..." until the method
  returns "None".

  Si es invocado para *text* que no incluye un caracter de punto
  ("'.'"), este completará con nombres actualmente definidos en
  "__main__", "builtins" y las palabras clave (tal y como están
  definidas en el módulo "keyword").

  If called for a dotted name, it will try to evaluate anything
  without obvious side-effects (functions will not be evaluated,
  but it can generate calls to "__getattr__()") up to the last
  part, and find matches for the rest via the "dir()" function.
  Any exception raised during the evaluation of the expression is
  caught, silenced and "None" is returned.
