Dear Maintainer,

Whenever python3-argcomplete is installed, completions for other Python
programs get very slow. Removing python3-argcomplete consistently fixes
it for me.

For example, this can be reproduced easily just installing
python3-argcomplete and trying to use pytest after starting a new shell.
If I try to complete even filenames, as in `pytest test/<TAB>`, the
shell blocks for a few seconds, and I get no completion whatsoever.
Removing python3-argcomplete and restarting the shell fixes it,
consistenly.

Sorry, I closed the wrong bug by mistake.

Incidentally, I cannot reproduce the original issue anymore. I think
the new release does fix the bug.
