Line completion with custom commands

Question

my Python program can be launched with a range of different options (or subcommands) like:

$ myProgram doSomething
$ myProgram doSomethingElse
$ myProgram no         


        

Answer 1

If you want your program to select an command line option even though you only used an abbreviated form of this option you should have a look at the optparse module in the standard library.
