Change how Python Cmd Module handles autocompletion

Question

I have a Cmd console set up to auto-complete card names for a Magic: the Gathering collection management system.

It uses the text parameter to query the database for car

Answer 1

You could do readline.set_completer_delims('').

However, your complete_* functions won't be called anymore; you will have to override Cmd.complete or Cmd.completenames. Look at the sourcecode of the cmd module for details.
