|
+argcomplete - Bash/zsh tab completion for argparse
|
|
|
+==================================================
|
|
|
+*Tab complete all the things!*
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Argcomplete provides easy, extensible command line tab completion of arguments for your Python application.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It makes two assumptions:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* You're using bash or zsh as your shell
|
|
|
+* You're using `argparse <http://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html>`_ 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).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Installation
|
|
|
+------------
|
|
|
+::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ pip install argcomplete
|
|
|
+ activate-global-python-argcomplete
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+See `Activating global completion`_ below for details about the second step.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Refresh your shell environment (start a new shell).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Synopsis
|
|
|
+--------
|
|
|
+Add the ``PYTHON_ARGCOMPLETE_OK`` marker and a call to ``argcomplete.autocomplete()`` to your Python application as
|
|
|
+follows:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #!/usr/bin/env python
|
|
|
+ # PYTHON_ARGCOMPLETE_OK
|
|
|
+ import argcomplete, argparse
|
|
|
+ parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
|
|
|
+ ...
|
|
|
+ argcomplete.autocomplete(parser)
|
|
|
+ args = parser.parse_args()
|
|
|
+ ...
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Register your Python application with your shell's completion framework by running ``register-python-argcomplete``::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ eval "$(register-python-argcomplete my-python-app)"
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Quotes are significant; the registration will fail without them. See `Global completion`_ below for a way to enable
|
|
|
+argcomplete generally without registering each application individually.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+argcomplete.autocomplete(*parser*)
|
|
|
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
+This method is the entry point to the module. It must be called **after** ArgumentParser construction is complete, but
|
|
|
+**before** the ``ArgumentParser.parse_args()`` method is called. The method looks for an environment variable that the
|
|
|
+completion hook shellcode sets, and if it's there, collects completions, prints them to the output stream (fd 8 by
|
|
|
+default), and exits. Otherwise, it returns to the caller immediately.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. admonition:: Side effects
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Argcomplete gets completions by running your program. It intercepts the execution flow at the moment
|
|
|
+ ``argcomplete.autocomplete()`` is called. After sending completions, it exits using ``exit_method`` (``os._exit``
|
|
|
+ by default). This means if your program has any side effects that happen before ``argcomplete`` is called, those
|
|
|
+ side effects will happen every time the user presses ``<TAB>`` (although anything your program prints to stdout or
|
|
|
+ stderr will be suppressed). For this reason it's best to construct the argument parser and call
|
|
|
+ ``argcomplete.autocomplete()`` as early as possible in your execution flow.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. admonition:: Performance
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ If the program takes a long time to get to the point where ``argcomplete.autocomplete()`` is called, the tab completion
|
|
|
+ process will feel sluggish, and the user may lose confidence in it. So it's also important to minimize the startup time
|
|
|
+ of the program up to that point (for example, by deferring initialization or importing of large modules until after
|
|
|
+ parsing options).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Specifying completers
|
|
|
+---------------------
|
|
|
+You can specify custom completion functions for your options and arguments. Two styles are supported: callable and
|
|
|
+readline-style. Callable completers are simpler. They are called with the following keyword arguments:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* ``prefix``: The prefix text of the last word before the cursor on the command line.
|
|
|
+ For dynamic completers, this can be used to reduce the work required to generate possible completions.
|
|
|
+* ``action``: The ``argparse.Action`` instance that this completer was called for.
|
|
|
+* ``parser``: The ``argparse.ArgumentParser`` instance that the action was taken by.
|
|
|
+* ``parsed_args``: The result of argument parsing so far (the ``argparse.Namespace`` args object normally returned by
|
|
|
+ ``ArgumentParser.parse_args()``).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Completers can return their completions as an iterable of strings or a mapping (dict) of strings to their
|
|
|
+descriptions (zsh will display the descriptions as context help alongside completions). An example completer for names
|
|
|
+of environment variables might look like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ def EnvironCompleter(**kwargs):
|
|
|
+ return os.environ
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To specify a completer for an argument or option, set the ``completer`` attribute of its associated action. An easy
|
|
|
+way to do this at definition time is:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ from argcomplete.completers import EnvironCompleter
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
|
|
|
+ parser.add_argument("--env-var1").completer = EnvironCompleter
|
|
|
+ parser.add_argument("--env-var2").completer = EnvironCompleter
|
|
|
+ argcomplete.autocomplete(parser)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you specify the ``choices`` keyword for an argparse option or argument (and don't specify a completer), it will be
|
|
|
+used for completions.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A completer that is initialized with a set of all possible choices of values for its action might look like this:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ class ChoicesCompleter(object):
|
|
|
+ def __init__(self, choices):
|
|
|
+ self.choices = choices
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ def __call__(self, **kwargs):
|
|
|
+ return self.choices
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The following two ways to specify a static set of choices are equivalent for completion purposes:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ from argcomplete.completers import ChoicesCompleter
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ parser.add_argument("--protocol", choices=('http', 'https', 'ssh', 'rsync', 'wss'))
|
|
|
+ parser.add_argument("--proto").completer=ChoicesCompleter(('http', 'https', 'ssh', 'rsync', 'wss'))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Note that if you use the ``choices=<completions>`` option, argparse will show
|
|
|
+all these choices in the ``--help`` output by default. To prevent this, set
|
|
|
+``metavar`` (like ``parser.add_argument("--protocol", metavar="PROTOCOL",
|
|
|
+choices=('http', 'https', 'ssh', 'rsync', 'wss'))``).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The following `script <https://raw.github.com/kislyuk/argcomplete/master/docs/examples/describe_github_user.py>`_ uses
|
|
|
+``parsed_args`` and `Requests <http://python-requests.org/>`_ to query GitHub for publicly known members of an
|
|
|
+organization and complete their names, then prints the member description:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #!/usr/bin/env python
|
|
|
+ # PYTHON_ARGCOMPLETE_OK
|
|
|
+ import argcomplete, argparse, requests, pprint
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ def github_org_members(prefix, parsed_args, **kwargs):
|
|
|
+ resource = "https://api.github.com/orgs/{org}/members".format(org=parsed_args.organization)
|
|
|
+ return (member['login'] for member in requests.get(resource).json() if member['login'].startswith(prefix))
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
|
|
|
+ parser.add_argument("--organization", help="GitHub organization")
|
|
|
+ parser.add_argument("--member", help="GitHub member").completer = github_org_members
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ argcomplete.autocomplete(parser)
|
|
|
+ args = parser.parse_args()
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ pprint.pprint(requests.get("https://api.github.com/users/{m}".format(m=args.member)).json())

|
|
|
+Readline-style completers
|
|
|
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
+The readline_ module defines a completer protocol in rlcompleter_. Readline-style completers are also supported by
|
|
|
+argcomplete, so you can use the same completer object both in an interactive readline-powered shell and on the command
|
|
|
+line. For example, you can use the readline-style completer provided by IPython_ to get introspective completions like
|
|
|
+you would get in the IPython shell:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. _readline: http://docs.python.org/3/library/readline.html
|
|
|
+.. _rlcompleter: http://docs.python.org/3/library/rlcompleter.html#completer-objects
|
|
|
+.. _IPython: http://ipython.org/
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ import IPython
|
|
|
+ parser.add_argument("--python-name").completer = IPython.core.completer.Completer()
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+``argcomplete.CompletionFinder.rl_complete`` can also be used to plug in an argparse parser as a readline completer.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Printing warnings in completers
|
|
|
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
+Normal stdout/stderr output is suspended when argcomplete runs. Sometimes, though, when the user presses ``<TAB>``, it's
|
|
|
+appropriate to print information about why completions generation failed. To do this, use ``warn``:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ from argcomplete import warn
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ def AwesomeWebServiceCompleter(prefix, **kwargs):
|
|
|
+ if login_failed:
|
|
|
+ warn("Please log in to Awesome Web Service to use autocompletion")
|
|
|
+ return completions
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Using a custom completion validator
|
|
|
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
+By default, argcomplete validates your completions by checking if they start with the prefix given to the completer. You
|
|
|
+can override this validation check by supplying the ``validator`` keyword to ``argcomplete.autocomplete()``:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ def my_validator(completion_candidate, current_input):
|
|
|
+ """Complete non-prefix substring matches."""
|
|
|
+ return current_input in completion_candidate
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ argcomplete.autocomplete(parser, validator=my_validator)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Global completion
|
|
|
+-----------------
|
|
|
+In global completion mode, you don't have to register each argcomplete-capable executable separately. Instead, the shell
|
|
|
+will look for the string **PYTHON_ARGCOMPLETE_OK** in the first 1024 bytes of any executable that it's running
|
|
|
+completion for, and if it's found, follow the rest of the argcomplete protocol as described above.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Additionally, completion is activated for scripts run as ``python <script>`` and ``python -m <module>``. If you're using
|
|
|
+multiple Python versions on the same system, the version being used to run the script must have argcomplete installed.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. admonition:: Bash version compatibility
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ When using bash, global completion requires bash support for ``complete -D``, which was introduced in bash 4.2. Since
|
|
|
+ Mac OS ships with an outdated version of Bash (3.2), you can either use zsh or install a newer version of bash using
|
|
|
+ `Homebrew <http://brew.sh/>`_ (``brew install bash`` - you will also need to add ``/usr/local/bin/bash`` to
|
|
|
+ ``/etc/shells``, and run ``chsh`` to change your shell). You can check the version of the running copy of bash with
|
|
|
+ ``echo $BASH_VERSION``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+.. note:: If you use setuptools/distribute ``scripts`` or ``entry_points`` directives to package your module,
|
|
|
+ argcomplete will follow the wrapper scripts to their destination and look for ``PYTHON_ARGCOMPLETE_OK`` in the
|
|
|
+ destination code.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you choose not to use global completion, or ship a completion module that depends on argcomplete, you must register
|
|
|
+your script explicitly using ``eval "$(register-python-argcomplete my-python-app)"``. Standard completion module
|
|
|
+registration rules apply: namely, the script name is passed directly to ``complete``, meaning it is only tab completed
|
|
|
+when invoked exactly as it was registered. In the above example, ``my-python-app`` must be on the path, and the user
|
|
|
+must be attempting to complete it by that name. The above line alone would **not** allow you to complete
|
|
|
+``./my-python-app``, or ``/path/to/my-python-app``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Activating global completion
|
|
|
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
+The script ``activate-global-python-argcomplete`` installs the global completion script
|
|
|
+`bash_completion.d/_python-argcomplete <https://github.com/kislyuk/argcomplete/blob/master/argcomplete/bash_completion.d/_python-argcomplete>`_
|
|
|
+into an appropriate location on your system for both bash and zsh. The specific location depends on your platform and
|
|
|
+whether you installed argcomplete system-wide using ``sudo`` or locally (into your user's home directory).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Zsh Support
|
|
|
+-----------
|
|
|
+Argcomplete supports zsh. On top of plain completions like in bash, zsh allows you to see argparse help strings as
|
|
|
+completion descriptions. All shellcode included with argcomplete is compatible with both bash and zsh, so the same
|
|
|
+completer commands ``activate-global-python-argcomplete`` and ``eval "$(register-python-argcomplete my-python-app)"``
|
|
|
+work for zsh as well.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Python Support
|
|
|
+--------------
|
|
|
+Argcomplete requires Python 3.7+.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Support for other shells
|
|
|
+------------------------
|
|
|
+Argcomplete maintainers provide support only for the bash and zsh shells on Linux and MacOS. For resources related to
|
|
|
+other shells and platforms, including fish, tcsh, xonsh, powershell, and Windows, please see the
|
|
|
+`contrib <https://github.com/kislyuk/argcomplete/tree/develop/contrib>`_ directory.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Common Problems
|
|
|
+---------------
|
|
|
+If global completion is not completing your script, bash may have registered a default completion function::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ $ complete | grep my-python-app
|
|
|
+ complete -F _minimal my-python-app
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can fix this by restarting your shell, or by running ``complete -r my-python-app``.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Debugging
|
|
|
+---------
|
|
|
+Set the ``_ARC_DEBUG`` variable in your shell to enable verbose debug output every time argcomplete runs. This will
|
|
|
+disrupt the command line composition state of your terminal, but make it possible to see the internal state of the
|
|
|
+completer if it encounters problems.
