Tab completions may be suffixed with ' ' (keywords), ':' (keywords)*, or '(' (callables) if one of those is required. Ex. 'import ', 'finally:', 'len('. Attributes may get '('. The possible downside is needing to remove the suffix if one does not want the completion for what it is but as a prefix to a longer word. Ex. 'imports','elsewhere', 'length'. But this should be much less common in code.

  • 'else ' should be 'else:'

With keywords added (bpo-37765) tab list is sorted(Completer().global_match('') + list(main.dict__.keys())). Whatever decide on, calculate first part once (if not already). list.sort used preexisting order. key are sorted. builtins might be.

#113978 Accessing attributes can raise DeprecationWarning, as with f.code.co_lnotab. Would need to catch or use alternate fix on PR.
