i know i can do this to get the effect of tab completion in python sure.
import readline
COMMANDS = ['extra', 'extension', 'stuff', 'errors',
'email', 'foobar', 'foo']
def complete(text, state):
for cmd in COMMANDS:
if cmd.startswith(text):
if not state:
return cmd
else:
state -= 1
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
readline.set_completer(complete)
raw_input('Enter section name: ')
I am now interested in doing tab completion with directories. (/home/user/doc >tab)
How would i go about doing such a task?
