t.p.u.Completer(object) : class documentation

Part of twisted.python.usage View Source View In Hierarchy

Known subclasses: twisted.python._shellcomp.SubcommandAction, twisted.python.usage.CompleteDirs, twisted.python.usage.CompleteFiles, twisted.python.usage.CompleteGroups, twisted.python.usage.CompleteHostnames, twisted.python.usage.CompleteList, twisted.python.usage.CompleteMultiList, twisted.python.usage.CompleteNetInterfaces, twisted.python.usage.CompleteUserAtHost, twisted.python.usage.CompleteUsernames

A completion "action" - provides completion possibilities for a particular command-line option. For example we might provide the user a fixed list of choices, or files/dirs according to a glob.

This class produces no completion matches itself - see the various subclasses for specific completion functionality.

Method	__init__
Method	_getRepeatFlag	Undocumented
Method	_description	Undocumented
Method	_shellCode	Fetch a fragment of shell code representing this action which is suitable for use by the completion system in _shellcomp.py

def __init__(self, descr=None, repeat=False): (source)

overridden in twisted.python.usage.CompleteFiles, twisted.python.usage.CompleteList, twisted.python.usage.CompleteMultiList

Parameters	descr	An optional descriptive string displayed above matches. (type: `str`)
	repeat	A flag, defaulting to False, indicating whether this `Completer` should repeat - that is, be used to complete more than one command-line word. This may ONLY be set to True for actions in the `extraActions` keyword argument to `Completions`. And ONLY if it is the LAST (or only) action in the `extraActions` list. (type: `bool`)

def _getRepeatFlag(self): (source)

Undocumented

def _description(self, optName): (source)

overridden in twisted.python.usage.CompleteFiles

Undocumented

def _shellCode(self, optName, shellType): (source)

overridden in twisted.python._shellcomp.SubcommandAction, twisted.python.usage.CompleteDirs, twisted.python.usage.CompleteFiles, twisted.python.usage.CompleteGroups, twisted.python.usage.CompleteHostnames, twisted.python.usage.CompleteList, twisted.python.usage.CompleteMultiList, twisted.python.usage.CompleteNetInterfaces, twisted.python.usage.CompleteUserAtHost, twisted.python.usage.CompleteUsernames

Fetch a fragment of shell code representing this action which is suitable for use by the completion system in _shellcomp.py

Parameters	optName	The long name of the option this action is being used for. (type: `str`)
	shellType	One of the supported shell constants e.g. `twisted.python.usage._ZSH` (type: `str`)
