python console tab completion not working in windows
running Windows 10
From what I understand python3 has tab completion in the python console already built in but this isn't working for me.
When I hit tab there is no completion:
Im aware there are modules that can do this, but I'd like to use the native feature if it is available to me on windows.
Solution
The builtin completion relies on the GNU readline library.
You may be able to get completion working by installing the python version (pyreadline) of this package on Windows.
python -m pip install pyreadline
Edit: For more recent Python releases, see Craig McQueen's comment below. ie. pyreadline3 instead of pyreadline
