[Python-Dev] rlcompleter -- auto-complete dictionary keys (+ tests) (original) (raw)

Hi,

A) I missed the auto-complete feature for dictionary keys a lot in python console. This patch seems to do the job.

B) There is no rlcompleter tests in trunk for some reason. So, I've taken the 2.7.x test_rlcompleter.py and extended it.

C) patched rlcompleter as such works OK for unicode dictionary keys as well. All tests pass OK. HOWEVER, readline's completion mechanism seem to be confused with unicode strings -- see comments to Completer.dict_key_matches(). So, perhaps, some changes should be applied to readline code too.

Attached:

  1. rlcompleter.py (as for trunk)

  2. test_rlcompleter (as for trunk)

  3. rlcompleter_trunk_to_new.diff (created as: diff rlcompleter_trunk.py rlcompleter.py >rlcompleter_trunk_to_new.diff)

P.S. thanks to kerio & ssbr on icq for advices.

best regards
