Add python tab completion in interactive shell

I've notices that Scapy has 'Tab' completions. So i want it to work in regular python shell.
All you need is to create a file '.pythonrc' and add this:

try:
    import readline
except ImportError:
    print("Module readline not available.")
else:
    import rlcompleter
    readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")

Next, add this file to PYTHONSTARTUP bash variable:

# echo "export PYTHONSTARTUP=~/.pythonrc" >> ~/.bashrc

Start python, press 'TAB' button, and see what you can do:

#python
>>>
>>> import random
>>> random.

random.__file__             random._pi                  random.seed(
random.__format__(          random._random              random.setstate(
random.__getattribute__(    random._sin(                random.shuffle(
random.__hash__(            random._sqrt(               random.triangular(

random.__name__             random._test_generator(     random.vonmisesvariate(
random.__new__(             random._urandom(            random.weibullvariate(
random.__package__          random._warn(               
>>> random.

Isn't this cool? :)
