Usage

Current version of completion is working only for commands that starts with:

• python <path/to/python_script.py> ...
• <path/to/python_script.py> ...

For example create proto.py with the content:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# PYTHON_ARGCOMPLETE_OK
import argparse, argcomplete
from argcomplete.completers import ChoicesCompleter

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("--proto").completer=ChoicesCompleter(('http', 'https', 'ssh', 'rsync', 'wss'))
argcomplete.autocomplete(parser)
args = parser.parse_args()
print('ok')

Then try completion:

python proto.py <Tab>
# Suggestions: --help --proto -h

chmod +x proto.py
./proto.py --proto tt<Tab>
# Suggestions: http https

The xontrib was tested on Ubuntu+Conda+Xonsh and on Mac+Brew+PyPi+Xonsh.
