Before my switch from Mandrake Linux to Ubuntu Linux I used the tab completion feature in interactive python without noticing it. But after the switch I noticed it wasn't there any more. On my search to find a way to reactivate it I found this page about the standard python module rlcompleter. I followed the instructions involving a python startup script and now I'm happy tab completing on the python shell again.
I also found a website about rlcompleter2, which should be a python module for a more advanced form of code completion for python's interactive mode. I didn't tried it already, maybe I will one day.
