Automatically run activate-global-python-argcomplete
See original GitHub issueIt’s very nasty to manually run activate-global-python-argcomplete. Is it possible to run this automatically on installing the pypi package or the distro (apt, dnf) package?

It might be nice to provide
argcomplete.activate_global_argcompleteso that packages usingargcompletecan automatically enable completion if they desire.Thanks for reporting. This is ultimately not the Python package’s choice to make. When running install through setuptools, a Python package generally doesn’t know where its installation destination is, whether it’s being sandboxed in a virtualenv, where the relevant bash-completion installation is, whether installing a global completion hook will trample on another copy of the package, etc.
Conversely, APT (and other system-wide package managers) is in the business of knowing all these things and is in a position to install the global completion hook.
So, please make this request with the distro package maintainers. I’m currently not directly involved in that.
