file_matches(self, text: str) -> List[str]

Most of the seemingly convoluted logic in this completer is an attempt to handle filenames with spaces in them. And yet it's not quite perfect, because Python's readline doesn't expose all of the GNU readline details needed for this to be done correctly.

For a filename with a space in it, the printed completions will be only the parts after what's already been typed (instead of the full completions, as is normally done). I don't think with the current (as of Python 2.3) Python readline it's possible to do better.

Match filenames, expanding ~USER type strings.

Examples

See :

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
