New submission from Jon McKenzie <jcmc...@gmail.com>: I'm writing a cmd.Cmd module that operates on filenames. As such, I'm attempting to write tab completions that operate similar to bash. However, files that contain dashes (hyphens) appear to exhibit unexpected behavior.
It appears that somewhere along the line, dashes are converted into spaces for the purposes of tab completion. So, for example.. (Cmd) edit blah-<tab><tab> Should print.. blah-1.0.0.txt blah-2.0.0.txt And.. (Cmd) edit blah-1<tab><tab> Should autocomplete to.. (Cmd) edit blah-1.0.0.txt Instead, the following behavior occurs: (Cmd) edit blah-<tab><tab> ..becomes... (Cmd) edit blah-blah ..and thus.. (Cmd) edit blah-blah-<tab><tab> ..becomes, in turn.. (Cmd) edit blah-blah-blah My completion function is absolutely standard, as far as I'm able to tell from looking at other examples (see attached) ---------- files: completion.snip messages: 128888 nosy: Jon.McKenzie priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: cmd.Cmd tab completion treats dashes as spaces type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20801/completion.snip _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11251> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
