It is built in. Check the cmd documentation for complete_* method of Cmd class.
Following is an example of it use for a command called "open":
def complete_open(self, text, line, begidx, endidx):
asmfiles = glob('%s/*.asm' % ASMDIR)
matches = []
for path in asmfiles:
fname = os.path.basename(path)
if fname.startswith(text):
matches.append(fname)
return matches
