register-python-argcomplete not available when pipx is installed via homebrew

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug pipx completions cannot be enabled when pipx is installed via homebrew because the command register-python-argcomplete is not available.

How to reproduce

$ brew install pipx
$ eval "$(register-python-argcomplete pipx)"
-bash: register-python-argcomplete: command not found

Expected behavior eval "$(register-python-argcomplete pipx)" completes without errors and pipx autocomplete works.

with https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/80156, brew install pipx now installs bash and fish completions. zsh was excluded because it requires users to manually add autoload -U bashcompinit && bashcompinit to .zshrc

@itsayellow you can thank @chenrui333 who’s been maintaining it!

And yes there is a homebrew location for completions. I’ll look into it and make a PR.
