Holger,

As I said in my reply to Michael, I want it for my own Python code that runs
inside a Python Interpreter instance I have embedded in another app.  In
this scenario I am running inside the 'runtime environment'.  This is also
why I want auto-complete, to make script editing while inside the foreign
app a little easier.  BTW, tried accessing the rlcompleter2 link but it kept
timing out, thx.
