Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Gayot (ogayot)
** Summary changed:
- Installed version on Ubuntu noble is incompatible with default Ubuntu version
+ [SRU] argcomplete 3.1.4-1 is incompatible with default Ubuntu version (3.12.3)
** Description changed:
- The package for Ubuntu 24.04 installs argcomplete version 3.1.4 which is
incompatible with Python 3.11.9+, 3.12.3+, and 3.13+. This is fixed with
argcomplete version 3.3 here:

+ [Impact]
+ * The package for Ubuntu 24.04 installs argcomplete version 3.1.4 which is
incompatible with Python 3.11.9+, 3.12.3+, and 3.13+, resulting in broken
argument completion.
- Since the default Python version on Ubuntu 24.04 is 3.12.3, argcomplete
- 3.1.4 is not compatible. This is even more problematic, since
- argcomplete cannot be installed through pip on this Ubuntu version as
- the Python environment is managed by apt. So it is not easily possible
- to install a working version.

+ [Testing]
To reproduce
1.) On Ubuntu 24.04, install python-argcomplete
2.) Save the following to `foo.py`
```
#!/usr/bin/env python
import argparse, argcomplete
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("--foo", choices=["a", "b"])
argcomplete.autocomplete(parser)
```
3.) Register argcomplete for foo.py by putting `eval
"$(register-python-argcomplete foo.py)"` in your .bashrc and starting a new
shell.
- [I'm not sure if this step is necessary, as the package activates
argcomplete globally.]

4.) Type `./foo.py --foo <TAB>`. This should suggest "a" and "b" but doesn't.

+ [Additional info]
+ This is fixed with argcomplete version 3.3.0 here:
