Hello all!

Is there a way of searching through the possible completions while using sage in a terminal?

Eg. If g is a Graph, then g.<TAB> yields more than 200 possible completions. Does anyone know of a way to get only those completions containing a certain string, say path, without leaving the terminal? Here one would expect to get the 12 (or so) methods containing the word path, none of which have path as a prefix.

Thanks :)

How about this:

sage: g = graphs.HigmanSimsGraph()
sage: g.*path*?
g.add_path
g.all_paths
g.disjoint_routed_paths
g.edge_disjoint_paths
g.interior_paths
g.longest_path
g.shortest_path
g.shortest_path_all_pairs
g.shortest_path_length
g.shortest_path_lengths
g.shortest_paths
g.vertex_disjoint_paths

sage: g.*path?
g.add_path
g.longest_path
g.shortest_path

I would never have imagined that it could work ! Thanks John, and thanks Sage !

Is this a Sage feature or readline feature?

I think it's an IPython feature.
