Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
I have wrote some code to auto-complete modules for import and from statements in REPL.
It's simple, so it can't auto-complete after from ... import, and it's only available when readline is available, but is better than nothing.
Here is the output of diff command (compared to version 3.11.2):
37a38,39
> import sys
> import pkgutil
94c96,103
< self.matches = self.global_matches(text)
---
> if _readline_available:
> start = readline.get_line_buffer()[:readline.get_begidx()]
> if re.fullmatch(r'(import|from)\s+', start):
> self.matches = self.module_matches(text)
> else:
> self.matches = self.global_matches(text)
> else:
> self.matches = self.global_matches(text)

> matches.append(name)
> for modinfo in pkgutil.iter_modules():
> if modinfo.name.startswith(text):

> return matches
>I'm thinking that if it's OK to merge these code into the official repo, if it is, please let me know.
