The rlcompleter Module
(Optional, Unix only) The rlcompleter module provides word completion for the readline module.
To enable word completion, just import this module. By default, the completion function is bound to the Esc key. Press Esc twice to finish the current word. To change the key, you can use something like:
import readline readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
The script in Example 14-10 shows how to use the completion functions from within a program.
