Thank you for the feedback. I have updated the patch to add support in
Python buffer.

Yes, I'd like to at least put some flags and functions shared by
python-shell-completion-native-setup and python-*-setup-code in a
separate .py file. On the other hand, they are not changed frequently,
so it is not in urgent need.
