#398 Dangerous autocompletes

[Robert Brewer]

I'm using pywin32 build 210. Some autocompletes are dangerous (and should be trapped in my opinion).

Try typing the following in Pythonwin:

# Maybe we should use raw_input().
f = input()

When you type the "." character in the comment, Pythonwin evaluates raw_input() in order to fetch its attributes, and pops up an input prompt.

Well, OK, not a huge problem. We can just cancel the prompt.

Now try this one:

# Maybe we should use os._exit(0).
sys.exit(0)

Pythonwin crashes hard. Obviously it's a dynamic language and you can't protect everyone from everything, but maybe these two could be trapped by the autocompleter and not evaluated.
