Python Cmd module enabling tab-completion inside a double-quoted string

Question

I'm currently writing an application using the Cmd/Cmd2 module.

For a certain command, I need quoted strings to delimit certain argument values.

(Cmd) command "This is an argument" argument 04

However, I can't seem to get tab-complete working with strings that start with a double quote. For example

command This<tab>

will autocomplete to

command This is an argument

However,

command "This<tab>

doesn't autocomplete to anything. Does anyone have any ideas for a workaround?

Thanks!

Edit: NVM, it does support quotes... it just seems that I had a bug elsewhere in my code. Thanks!
