python中tab键_TAB键无法在python中自动完成

I'm trying to create an interactive command line program using readline in python.

The file run.py contains the following code:

import readline

class SimpleCompleter(object):

def __init__(self, options):

self.options = sorted(options)

return

def complete(self, text, state):

response = None

if state == 0:

# This is the first time for this text, so build a match list.

if text:

self.matches = [s for s in self.options if s and s.startswith(text)]

else:

self.matches = self.options[:]

try:

response = self.matches[state]

except IndexError:

response = None

return response

def input_loop():

line = ''

while line != 'stop':

line = input('Prompt ("stop" to quit): ')

print(f'Dispatch {line}')

# Register our completer function

completer = SimpleCompleter(['start', 'stop', 'list', 'print'])

readline.set_completer(completer.complete)

# Use the tab key for completion

readline.parse_and_bind('tab: complete')

# Prompt the user for text

input_loop()

The problem is when I try to run the file directly from the terminal (i.e. python run.py) the TAB key is not considered as auto-completion key, instead it is considered 4 spaces, so I got no suggestions when I press the TAB key twice; However, if I imported the file from a python console (i.e. import run.py) the TAB key is considered auto-completion key and I got suggestions as expected.

It seems that the problem is in the line

readline.parse_and_bind('tab: complete')

so I tried to put it in a seperate config file as mentioned here but the problem remained the same.

So the question is why is this happening? and how can I fix it.

解决方案

Finally found the answer, and the problem was that I am using Mac, so instead of

readline.parse_and_bind('tab: complete')

I have to use

readline.parse_and_bind('bind ^I rl_complete')

Now running the code directly using python run.py, I get the suggestions as expected.
