python tab 自动补全

学习python，经常要使用python命令行查找一些不熟悉的使用方法等等，但是python命令行下没有自带tab补全的功能，看见别人写了tab，可以解决特此记下，以备后用

1.创建tab.py文件，内容如下：

#!/usr/bin/env python
# python startup file
import sys
import readline
import rlcompleter
import atexit
import os
# tab completion
readline.parse_and_bind(‘tab: complete‘)
# history file
histfile = os.path.join(os.environ[‘HOME‘], ‘.pythonhistory‘)
try:
    readline.read_history_file(histfile)
except IOError:
    pass
atexit.register(readline.write_history_file, histfile)
del os, histfile, readline, rlcompleter

2.代码有了，我们还需要将脚本放到python指定的目录下，可以使用sys.path来查看一下

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
[‘‘, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7‘, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu‘, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk‘, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old‘, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload‘, ‘/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages‘, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages‘, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PILcompat‘, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0‘, ‘/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client‘]

一般我们会将这一类代码放在/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages目录下

3.把tab.py 放到指定目录下

mv tab.py /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

4.使用

>>> import tab
>>> sys.
