Summary0000663: python3-argcomplete not completing
DescriptionOn AlmaLinux10, python3 scripts in the PATH that utilized the `argcomplete` module and are registered with `register-python-argcomplete` are not auto-completing.

Package version is 3.2.2-4.el10.
Steps To ReproduceAssuming bash shell.

1. Save the attached file, argcomplete-test.py, in to a directory in your PATH and mark the file as executable.
2. Run the command: eval "$(register-python-argcomplete argcomplete-test.py)"
3. In that same shell session enter: argcomplete-test.py and then press the TAB key twice in succession.

You should see these offered as completions: -h --help one three two

Instead it will list files in the current directory, if any. (This is the default completion behavior of bash.)

Additional InformationWorks correctly on AlmaLinux 9.

Works correctly in a Python virtual environment with the latest argcomplete module (3.7.1)
