They look like typical completion scripts. However, if your Linux distribution has a pip completion script in their repos, prefer that one.
Wired has removed the story because it "does not meet [their] editorial standards".

I gained some knowledge from solving the challenges and looking at the solutions. Mostly you will use find and grep.
