New submission from Martin Panter: When playing with the Editline alternative to Readline, I noticed that “global” name completions can include duplicates:
>>> No None NotADirectoryError( NotImplementedError( None NotImplemented >>> None None None It completed my line to “None”, but if you hit Tab again, it lists two duplicate options both identical to what I already have. The reason is that “None” is both a reserved keyword, and a member of the builtins module. My patch avoids adding extra completions if a name has already been added. It also prioritizes the global namespace over builtins, so that say if you alias “int” to a non-callable, it is no longer listed with an opening bracket “(” suffix. Earlier behaviour: >>> int = 81 >>> in in input( int int( Now: >>> in in input( int ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: global-dupes.patch keywords: patch messages: 254873 nosy: martin.panter priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: Make rlcompleter avoid duplicate global names type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file41071/global-dupes.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25663> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
