I usually use a .pyrc file with some readline commands to have tab completion inside python interactive shell. The completion suddenly doesn't work, despite the .pyrc generates no exception or anything. Any thoughts on that?

Do you have the environment variable PYTHONSTARTUP defined? file:///home/henryp/doc/python-docs/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONSTARTUP - Henry Prêcheur

Yeah. It was working in the past and I don't know what changed. - Arnaldo M Pereira

The code is read, but it doesn't complete. Maybe something on OS X's terminal, but don't know.. - Arnaldo M Pereira

Try executing your .pyrc code in the python interpreter (remove all try/except) it should help - Henry Prêcheur

That gives me no output. I maybe should read readline's docstrings, or something... maybe the api changed and I didn't realize it. - Arnaldo M Pereira
