How to code autocompletion in python?

Question

I\'d like to code autocompletion in Linux terminal. The code should work as follows.

It has a list of strings (e.g. \"hello, \"hi\", \"how are you\", \"goodbye\", \"

For those (like me) that end up here searching for autocomplete in the interpreter:

This involves creating a file .pythonrc, modifying .bashrc and an import sys you have to import every time you launch the Python interpreter.

I wonder if the latter can be automated for even more win.
