The django_bash_completion script is in the extras directory of the root Django checkout. Although I think the OP was asking how to get tab completion for custom manage.py commands. I've been mucking around with this recently, and keep meaning to file a patch. My current approach involves getting the shell to run ./ manage.py help and then piping the results through sed, but this isn't very efficient and doesn't work very well with command-specific options. I think a better way would be to add some hooks into Django itself - probably in core.management - to return a list of all commands, and also provide a way for command authors to declare what options their commands provide. Although there's a niggling suspicion that all this might be overkill for a fairly obscure feature... -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
