I used to have one of those, but nowadays I just rely on IPython’s, which 
completes filenames. But it doesn’t have quite the same features. On the one 
hand, it has Jedi awesomeness, which is hard to live without once you get used 
to it. (And it’s especially fun when the local C++ or Go fanatic tells you that 
Python sucks because there’s no way it could autocomplete some example even in 
an IDE, and you can just show them Python autocompleting their example right 
there in the REPL.) On the other hand, it doesn’t have little rules that I need 
once every few months and forget I no longer have, like retrying a missing 
directory after removing all non-escape-sequence backslashes, so you can paste 
something with backslash-escaped spaces from bash.
