Autocomplete Feature Not Available when Switching Python Version #1016

Description

@novaTopFlex

I have attempted to change the shebang in the shell script for the bpython interpreter from #!/usr/bin/python3 to #!/usr/bin/python3.12 on a system where /usr/bin/python3 is effectively a symlink to /usr/bin/python3.10. When switching interpreters from python3.10 to python3.12, I receive warnings stating that the autocompletion feature from the Python script does not support the later version, Python 3.12.

Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Location of Interpreter(s): /usr/bin/python3.12 and /usr/bin/ipython

I believe that this would also be an issue for users needing to switch versions, whether forwards or backwards, including for python3.7, python3.8, and python3.9 compatibility backwards as well as for python3.11, python3.12, and python3.13 (and eventually beyond 3.13) compatibility forwards.
