Shell completion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Command and argument completion is a great way to reduce the number of
keystrokes and improve user experience.
To display suggestions when you press :kbd:`tab`, a shell must obtain choices
from your program. It calls the program in a specific environment and expects
it to return a list of relevant choices.
`Argparse` does not support completion out of the box. However, there are
3rd-party apps that do the job, such as argcomplete_ and
python-selfcompletion_.
`Argh` supports only argcomplete_ which doesn't require subclassing
the parser and monkey-patches it instead. Combining `Argh`
with python-selfcompletion_ isn't much harder though: simply use
`SelfCompletingArgumentParser` instead of vanilla `ArgumentParser`.
See installation details and gotchas in the documentation of the 3rd-party app
you've chosen for the completion backend.
`Argh` automatically enables completion if argcomplete_ is available
(see :attr:`COMPLETION_ENABLED`). If completion is undesirable in given app by
design, it can be turned off by setting ``completion=False``
in :func:`argh.dispatching.dispatch`.
Note that you don't *have* to add completion via `Argh`; it doesn't matter
whether you let it do it for you or use the underlying API.

Argument-level completion
-------------------------
Argcomplete_ supports custom "completers". The documentation suggests adding
the completer as an attribute of the argument parser action::
parser.add_argument("--env-var1").completer = EnvironCompleter
However, this doesn't fit the normal `Argh`-assisted workflow.
It is recommended to use the :func:`~argh.decorators.arg` decorator::
@arg('--env-var1', completer=EnvironCompleter)
def func(...):
...
"""
import logging
import os
COMPLETION_ENABLED = False
"""
Dynamically set to `True` on load if argcomplete_ was successfully imported.
"""
try:
import argcomplete
except ImportError:
pass
else:
COMPLETION_ENABLED = True
__all__ = ['autocomplete', 'COMPLETION_ENABLED']
logger = logging.getLogger(__package__)
def autocomplete(parser):
"""
Adds support for shell completion via argcomplete_ by patching given
`argparse.ArgumentParser` (sub)class.
If completion is not enabled, logs a debug-level message.
"""
if COMPLETION_ENABLED:
argcomplete.autocomplete(parser)
elif 'bash' in os.getenv('SHELL', ''):
logger.debug('Bash completion not available. Install argcomplete.')
