Add shell completion (zsh)

[blueyed]

Should we include/ship shell completion with pytest, e.g. in a contrib folder?

I have something for Zsh: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions/pull/454/files.

pytest already supports the argcomplete protocol

Thanks!
I came across that before, but for zsh it requires bashcompinit (a wrapper to enable bash completions), and the completion itself is slow (it seems to be not cached at all), and does not support completing (c)tags after -k, which was my initial motivation to create a completion script for pytest, since this easily allows to complete test functions.

i see what you mean, i wonder if that can be done in a multi shell fashion

How about shtab? It is faster than argcomplete and pyzshcomplete. And it supports more shells.
