No. I don't think so bash auto completion is not for this purpose. You cannot run it in your terminal as you grab the stdin by readline. Bash-auto-completion essentially using compgen and several built-in array must run in native bash terminal, otherwise you have to complexly redirect user input from your terminal to a fake terminal and parse the output. I am sure there must be some python library supporting auto-completion in own terminal, no needs to make your hands dirty with the obscured bash-auto-completion
