1240	Tab-completion actions for django-admin	paolo <paolo@…>	Adrian Holovaty	"= Tab-completion actions for django-admin =

This ticket exists because after reading LittleEasyImprovements wiki page I have been attracted by ""Tab-completion actions for django-admin"" project. So I decided to write a bash script for that purpose.

The script is attached below, and adds tab completion capability to django-admin.py and manage.py (./manage.py, python manage.py, python project/manage.py, etc.), even if it is only partially supported: actually only actions (adminindex, createcachetable, createsuperuser, etc.) and options (--help, --settings, etc.) are handled, while models completion is not, mainly because I was not able to write Python code that returns names of models installed within a project (auth, core, and the ones created by the user). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

I hope you can find the script useful in some way, even if not finished. Feel free to use it as you want, if you want. It has been a pleasure to do something for you, in each case.

== Installation ==

Create a directory named .bash_completion in your home directory and move
this file there. Now, if in your home exists a file called .profile use this
one, otherwise use .bash_profile and add this line:

{{{
source ~/.bash_completion/django
}}}

Do the same in ~/.bashrc. Usually this shouldn't be necessary as
.profile or .bash_profile take care to invoke .bashrc, if it exists, but
different distributions handle this aspect differently.

Settings will become effective since next login, or after typing source ~/.bash_completion/django
