# (X)Emacs: -*- mode: python; coding: latin-1; -*- # TAB-Completion for Jython with JLine console. # JLineCompleter.py,v 1.5 2007/09/28 09:13:10 martin Exp # Jython + JLine + Tab-Completion Micro-Howto: # # JLine is a 99% pure Java console library similar to GNU Readline but # with an incompatible API. Jython 2.2 already contains some support # for JLine. For basic line editing and a command history it suffices # to set python.console=org.python.util.JLineConsole either in the # Jython registry or in the ~/.jython file. Obviously the JLine # jarfile must be in your classpath. # # Unfortunately Jython does not support tab-completion for JLine yet. # It can be enabled by importing this file - however this needs # patches. To summarize prerequisites: # # 1. You need a patch to JLine that adds the # ConsoleRunner.getReader() method. On FreeBSD build jline with # option WITH_JLINEPATCH enabled. # # 2. You must wrap the entry point to Jython with a # jline.ConsoleRunner instance. You do this by editing # /usr/local/bin/jython and inserting an extra argument # "jline.ConsoleRunner" right before the "org.python.util.jython" # argument. # # 3. While there don't forget to add # /usr/local/share/java/classes/jline.jar to the classpath. # # 4. You must set python.console="" in the ~/.jython file. You # don't want Jython to create another console instance running # behind the wrapper console. # # 5. Finally you have to import this module. You may want to do a # "import user" instead and code the "import JLineCompleter" # inside ~/.pythonrc.py instead. # # If that is too much hassle - just wait for my upcoming # devel/libreadline-java port! """Word completion for JLine The completer completes keywords, built-ins and globals in a selectable namespace (which defaults to __main__); when completing NAME.NAME..., it evaluates (!) the expression up to the last dot and completes its attributes. It's very cool to do "import sys" type "sys.", hit the completion key (twice), and see the list of names defined by the sys module! Notes: - Exceptions raised by the completer function are *ignored* (and generally cause the completion to fail). This is a feature -- since readline sets the tty device in raw (or cbreak) mode, printing a traceback wouldn't work well without some complicated hoopla to save, reset and restore the tty state. - The evaluation of the NAME.NAME... form may cause arbitrary application defined code to be executed if an object with a __getattr__ hook is found. Since it is the responsibility of the application (or the user) to enable this feature, I consider this an acceptable risk. More complicated expressions (e.g. function calls or indexing operations) are *not* evaluated. This module is a slightly hacked version of the CPython 2.5 module rlcompleter. It is therefore under the PSF (Python Software Foundation) license.
