Chris Lane 963496db86 Restored -d functionality to original
During the last commit, the -d functionality was changed (likely
unintentionally) such that it outputted a raw Python list rather than
lines printed to stdout. I've restored the original functionality,
because the autocompletion scripts rely upon it.
