My goal is to dynamically create many objects using setattr and then open a python prompt. Eventually I will have a object tree associated with root.

I would like to TAB after root. to see all available objects linked with root. Can anyone suggest how to do it?

import code

class Foo:
    def name(self):
        print("Checking my name")
root = Foo()
new_obj = Foo()
setattr(Foo,"new",new_obj)
code.interact(banner="", exitmsg="", local=dict(globals(), **locals()))

Example: root has dynamically created objct new which works as shown in cmd.

>>> root.new.name()
Checking my name

what I want to see after pressing TAB:

>>> root.
    new

are you asking how to get tab-completion with `code.interact`? Because the regular Python REPL in my shell does suggest `new` when you do `root.` – juanpa.arrivillaga Aug 12 '21 at 02:59
Good point. Idea is some will run this as script which will populate root with a tree of objects and open prompt at the end. Is there a way code.interact can show the tab-completion of objects? Otherwise I'll first open a REPL and import it as module and run – Dibyendu Dey Aug 12 '21 at 03:09
You can always run the code with `python -i entrypoint.py` – juanpa.arrivillaga Aug 12 '21 at 03:10

It is working perfectly. Thanks a lot. – Dibyendu Dey Aug 12 '21 at 06:19
