[Python-Dev] SWIG and rlcompleter

[Michael Krasnyk]

Hello all,

Recently I've found that rlcompleter does not work correctly with SWIG
generated classes.
In some cases dir(object) containes not only strings, but also type of
the object, smth like <class 'mywrapper.IClassPtr'>. 
And condition "word[:n] == attr" throws an exception.
Is it possible to solve this problem with following path?
