<hr class="docutils" />
<p>The <code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rlcompleter</span></code> module defines a completion function suitable to be
passed to <a class="reference internal" href="readline.html#readline.set_completer" title="readline.set_completer"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">set_completer()</span></code></a> in the <a class="reference internal" href="readline.html#module-readline" title="readline: GNU readline support for Python. (Unix)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">readline</span></code></a> module.</p>
<p>When this module is imported on a Unix platform with the <a class="reference internal" href="readline.html#module-readline" title="readline: GNU readline support for Python. (Unix)"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">readline</span></code></a> module
available, an instance of the <a class="reference internal" href="#rlcompleter.Completer" title="rlcompleter.Completer"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Completer</span></code></a> class is automatically created
and its <a class="reference internal" href="#rlcompleter.Completer.complete" title="rlcompleter.Completer.complete"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">complete()</span></code></a> method is set as the
<a class="reference internal" href="readline.html#readline-completion"><span class="std std-ref">readline completer</span></a>. The method provides
completion of valid Python <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/lexical_analysis.html#identifiers"><span class="std std-ref">identifiers and keywords</span></a>.</p>
<p>Example:</p>

</pre></div>

<p>The <code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rlcompleter</span></code> module is designed for use with Python’s
<a class="reference internal" href="../tutorial/interpreter.html#tut-interactive"><span class="std std-ref">interactive mode</span></a>.  Unless Python is run with the
<a class="reference internal" href="../using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-S"><code class="xref std std-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-S</span></code></a> option, the module is automatically imported and configured
(see <a class="reference internal" href="site.html#rlcompleter-config"><span class="std std-ref">Readline configuration</span></a>).</p>
<p>On platforms without <a class="reference internal" href="readline.html#module-readline" title="readline: GNU readline support for Python.
