I’m stuck on Stage #lc6

Latest Code: Gautam-Shell/app/main.py at main · Gautam1608/Gautam-Shell · GitHub

Tried the same locally and its working fine. Am not able to figure out why its auto completes to cow/cow/

Thanks

Hey @Gautam1608, the bug occurs because readline by default treats / as a word delimiter. You’ll need to override that behavior by calling readline.set_completer_delims() with a string that excludes /, for example:

readline.set_completer_delims(' \t\n')

And then adjust the options here:

Yup this worked, Its a bit confusing as it seems to be dependent on which shell I am using to run python itself.

I know you have provided the link to bash in the challenge but I thought git bash would be similar to bash, apparently not.

Removed the prefix, I usually see it added in other shells but not in bash I guess.

Either way, thanks for the solution.
