Hi, I have recently learned how to add tab completion to an interactive python session and to pdb, thanks to Tom Lazar and to Jacob at ParTecs. More info with links on my first blog entry in three months: http://maurits.vanrees.org/weblog/2006/10/tab-completion.html At the end of that entry I ask a question: Can we add tab completion to the zopectl debugger? Or actually more general: can we load the ~/.pythonrc.py file when the zopectl debugger is started? In that file, the user can arrange tab completion or anything else he wants to have available for interactive python sessions. It is very easy to do: just add 'import user;' to the command line in the do_debug function of $SOFTWARE_HOME/Zope2/Startup/zopectl.py. For details, see that blog entry. I don't think there are security risks (but don't take my word for it). If someone can put malicious python code in that rc file, than that someone could just as easily start a python session and enter the malicious code there. This would just be for convenience. Would this be enough of a convenience to put into the Zope source code? -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [NL] Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ "Do not worry about your difficulties in computers, I can assure you mine are still greater."
