I mean 'NOT to let bash ...'. Also, I forget to mention that /etc/bash-completion is not sourced in my .bashrc and I have make sure that it is not sourced anywhere before .bashrc. Therefore, this is a question regarding bash. Could somebody let me know how to not expand the variable. I also tried 'python $SOME_VARIABLE/<TAB>', where $SOME_VARIABLE is set to a directory. Wired enough, this time $SOME_VARIABLE is not expanded at all, neither any completion to any files under the directory $SOME_VARIABLE. BTW, my bash is of version 4.1.0(2)-release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu). -- Regards, Peng
