That ought to be possible, but it would be a bash (and other) feature,
rather than a Python one. Recent versions of git come with a fairly
comprehensive tab-completion setup, written for multiple shells, and
it should be possible to do something a lot simpler for Python. Of
course, the key here is knowing every possible completion for "python
-m <blah>", without taking three parts of forever to build the list...
but that's largely in the hands of individual sysadmins.

It'd definitely be handy.
