Description
I'm trying to enable auto-completion for Python scripts executed with python -m my_module -[TAB] [TAB] or python my_module.py -[TAB] [TAB].
I first created the script:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import argparse
def get_main_parser():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog="my_module")
parser.add_argument("--a", default=None)
parser.add_argument("--b", default=None)
return parser
if __name__ == "__main__":
parser = get_main_parser()
args = parser.parse_args()
print(args)Then:
chmod +x ./my_module.py
alias my_module='./my_module.py'
eval "$(shtab --prog=my_module --shell=bash my_module.get_main_parser)"And my_module -[TAB] [TAB] works but when I try python3 -m my_module -[TAB] [TAB] or python3 my_module.py -[TAB] [TAB] autocompletion doesn't work. I also tried to replace prog="my_module" with prog="my_module.py" but still it doesn't work.
