[Bug 660613] Re: COMP_WORDS bad array subscript in python completion

[Peter Cordes]

There's something fishy going on,

/usr/bin/python /etc/ba[TAB] =>  prints a single completion, but doesn't apply it.
bash_completion.d/

python /etc/ba[TAB] => /etc/bash_completion.d/

 I think when testing this before, I had my completion dynamic loading
messed up, and wasn't getting /usr/share/bash-
completion/completions/python

Turns out keeping an unmodified copy of what Ubuntu ships isn't enough,
you need a symlink to /usr/share/bash-completion/completions in the
directory with it, because it cares about where it lives.  Checking
other bugs I closed recently in case I tested improperly... xD
