Curiouser and curiouser. I put a message in
python-preoutput-filter that echoes its parameter as you
suggest. Looking at the contents of my messages buffer after
attempting the completion for "os.", the "Can't find completion"
message from the python completion routine happens after
precisely 1024 characters are read. Furthermore it looks like the
data coming from the process is interrupted every 1024
characters.
