Latest Release: rlcompleter2-0.96, 30th March 2005

A minor bugfix release.

fixed occurences of "internal errors" due to Python versions 2.3 and 2.4 changing the type of raised exceptions.
reworked some internal details as well as PyPI-registration

Quick start

requirements: Python-2.2.x or higher, working readline module.

check that you have the readline module installed, i.e. import readline should work without errors. Readline support is available on a wide range of unix/linux platforms and within the Windows CYGWIN environment.
download %(downloadfn)s
unpack with e.g. tar zxvf %(downloadfn)s
change into unpacked directory and execute python -i rlcompleter2.py

There is only one module which needs to be installed but for your convenience you can use distutils:

install rlcompleter2.py into your site-packages directory: python setup.py install
set your environment variable PYTHONSTARTUP to a file which contains
```
   import rlcompleter2
   rlcompleter2.setup()
   del rlcompleter2
```
you want to set PYTHONSTARTUP permanently in your shell startup such as e.g. .bash_profile
now simply invoke python and the completer will be there.

To always get completions on the first <tab> you can put the line set show-all-if-ambiguous on into your .inputrc readline initialization file.
