ZSH on ubuntu - bash completions

ZSH on ubuntu - bash completions

[Sayth Renshaw]

For installs that use Bash such as Pythonbrew, Perlbrew and Pythonz
how can I change to have them use ZSH instead?

With Pythonbrew I have followed the standard install of curl and then
adding the line to ~/.bashrc but it will return an unknown command in
a new zsh terminal.

[[ -s $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc ]] && source
$HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc  - from the pythonbrew readme
https://github.com/utahta/pythonbrew#readme

I treid making the initial command

curl -kL xrl.us/pythonbrewinstall | zsh

But that doesn't work.Also put the command into zshrc [[ -s
$HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc ]] && source $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc
 but that doesn't work either. Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't know about python, but for perlbrew I have the following in my
.zshrc:

if [[ -e ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc ]] then
    . ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc  # perlbrew
    pb() { TEST_JOBS=9 perlbrew "$@" }
fi

Is that the default completion as you would use in Bash or did you
alter something to get it to work?

Oops, sorry, I missed the completion part in the subject.

My solution allows perlbrew to work in zsh.  I haven't changed
~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc at all.  It doesn't implement any
completion.  I didn't even know there was completion for it and had
considered writing it myself.

Fortunately, I don't need to:

if [[ -e ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc ]] then
    . ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc
    . ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/perlbrew-completion.bash
fi

With this completion works in zsh too.
