Does anyone use the tab-completion recipe in the docs?
http://docs.python.org/library/rlcompleter.html#module-rlcompleter
suggests using this to enable tab-completion:
try:
import readline
except ImportError:
print "Module readline not available."
else:
import rlcompleter
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
which is all very nice, but it makes it rather difficult to indent code
blocks:
>>> def func(x):
...
Display all 174 possibilities? (y or n)
I like tab-completion, but I'd rather not be reduced to typing spaces for
indents in the interpreter. What do other people do?
Can I bind Ctrl-tab to the completion instead of regular tab? I tried
readline.parse_and_bind("C-tab: complete") but it still completes on
regular tab.
The GNU readline library claims that M-tab (which I guess is Alt-tab)
will enter a tab character. Problem is that Alt-tab is intercepted by my
window manager for something else.
Any other suggestions or hints?
