Martin Panter added the comment: I have no idea how IDLE works internally, but I wonder if it is possible to share some of the work with the Readline completer (rlcompleter module). Despite the name, rlcompleter should be usable without also using Readline, though recently (Issue 25660) I think this was broken. Anyway, maybe see Issue 10351 for the beginning of an rlcompleter patch and some potential test cases.
