Command-line autocompletion for python -m module
Is it possible to get command-line autocompletion of python -m package.subpackage.module?
This is similar to, but not the same as, python ./package/subpackage/module.py, which does autocomplete the directory and file paths. However with -m, python runs the library's module as a script with the appropriate namespacing and import paths.
I'd like to be able to do python -m package.s[TAB] and get autocompletion to subpackage.
Is this feature built in somewhere, or how can I set it up?

As said in the comment section, you need to extend the bash-completion tool. Then, you'll create a script which handles the cases you need (ie: when the last argument was -m).
This little sample below shows a start for your custom completion script. Let's name it python_completion.sh.
_python_target() {
local cur prev opts
# Retrieving the current typed argument
cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"
# Retrieving the previous typed argument ("-m" for example)
prev="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}"
# Preparing an array to store available list for completions
# COMREPLY will be checked to suggest the list
COMPREPLY=()
# Here, we'll only handle the case of "-m"
# Hence, the classic autocompletion is disabled
# (ie COMREPLY stays an empty array)
if [[ "$prev" != "-m" ]]
then
return 0
fi
# Retrieving paths and converts their separators into dots
# (if packages doesn't exist, same thing, empty array)
if [[ ! -e "./package" ]]
then
return 0
fi
# Otherwise, we retrieve first the paths starting with "./package"
# and converts their separators into dots
opts="$(find ./package -type d | sed -e 's+/+.+g' -e 's/^.//' | head)"
# We store the whole list by invoking "compgen" and filling
# COMREPLY with its output content.
COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$opts" -- "$cur"))
}
complete -F _python_target python
(Warning. This script has a flaw, it won't work with filenames containing spaces). To test it, run it in the current environnement:
. ./python_completion.sh
And test it:
python -m packag[TAB]
Here is a tutorial to continue in this way.
