  • No stdin for python calls from bash completion functions (#488)

    Prevents usage of stdin by (python) executables that are called
    during completion generation. This prevents the completion locking
    up the entire shell when the python script is broken i.e. it enters
    an interactive mode (REPL) instead of generating the completions, as
    expected.
    
    • Localize shell variable REPLY to avoid overwriting users' value (#489)

      The variable REPLY is used by default by the read shell builtin to
      store the return value, and like all bash/zsh variables, is scoped
      globally. This change allows this variable to be used for other
      needs by appropriately scoping its internal use by an argcomplete
      utility function that uses read.
