New submission from Nicolas <nicolas-gaudin at laposte.net>:
The function set by readline.set_completer must return one completion per call. This should be great if we can return an iterable, because with current implementation I have to write a wrapper:
cache = None
def completer(text, state):
if cache:
if len(cache) > 0:
return cache.pop(0)
else:
cache = None
return None
res = completer_returning_iterable(text)
if isinstance(res, str) or res == None:
return res
cache = res
return completer(text, state)
readline.set_completer(completer)
And completer_returning_list, the true completer, returns a pythonic iterable for all possible completion.
