I am running Ubuntu 13.10 and fish 2.1.0. I want to write myself a Python script to do some tasks from the command line. The script will require command line arguments.
How can I write my script such that fish can request and get possible values for a given argument. The list of potential values is dynamic. That is, it will be determined programatically (e.g. a list of folder names matching some criteria).
The end result I am aiming for is something like:
user@machine ~> myprog argument=fol
folder1 folder2 folder3
Where myprog is my script file, argument is the argument name and folder1 etc are valid values generated by some function in my script.
Is this possible, and if so how?

If you have a program myprog which takes the --_completion option, you can write a single completion stub for myprog that looks like this:
complete --command myprog --arguments '(myprog --_completion (commandline -cp)'
Your program will then get invoked as myprog --_completion myprog some arguments here, and you can respond with the appropriate completions. It should return only the current token that is being completed (you could also pass this to the program with (commandline -ct), or tokenise it yourself), followed optionally by a tab and a short description. Multiple completions are separated with new lines.
Notes:
--_completion is a convention suggested by the python-selfcompletion library, but you can use anything you want, and this answer is not Python-specific
There is no way to specify the default completion as described in dbarnett/python-selfcompletion#2 (GitHub comment). You would definitely have to make a short stub for each command.
For Python scripts specifically, the following libraries may support fish completions at some point in the future (but they don't yet):
