#99418 — readline and TAB-completion?

I need an input function with GNU readline support. So far I have:

    import readline
    readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")

    file = raw_input('File to send: ')


Cursor keys are working, but TAB-completion works only in the current
directory. Example:


File to send: [TAB][TAB]
argv.py              error.py             md5b64.py            x.py
Python_Cookbook.pdf  bookmarks            fexit.py             murksigkeiten
_.py                 compile.py           https.py             wcp

File to send: /tmp/[TAB][TAB]
argv.py              error.py             md5b64.py            x.py
Python_Cookbook.pdf  bookmarks            fexit.py             murksigkeiten
_.py                 compile.py           https.py             wcp


Is there a way to make TAB-completion work for other directories, too?

Remove "/" from the set of delimiters:

readline.set_completer_delims(
    "".join(c for c in readline.get_completer_delims() if c != "/"))

> murksigkeiten

I wonder what's in there ;)
