Name
write_history_file
Synopsis
write_history_file(filename
='~/.history')
Saves history lines to the text file whose name or path is
filename
.
An example of a completion
function is in module rlcompleter
. In an
interactive interpreter session (or, more practically, in the startup
file that the interpreter runs at the start of each interactive
session, as covered in Chapter 3), you can enter:
import readline, rlcompleter readline.parse_and_bind('tab: complete')
Now, for the rest of this interactive session, you can hit Tab during line editing and get completion for global names and object attributes.
