python-argcomplete – bash tab completion for argparse

Argcomplete provides easy, extensible command line tab completion of arguments for your Python script.

It makes two assumptions:

  • You’re using bash as your shell

  • You’re using argparse to manage your command line arguments/options

Argcomplete is particularly useful if your program has lots of options or subparsers, and if your program can dynamically suggest completions for your argument/option values (for example, if the user is browsing resources over the network).

This package provides the module for Python 2.x.
