I don't understand.

I tried the following:

Python 2.6b2+ (trunk:65167M, Jul 21 2008, 09:51:48) 
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rlcompleter
>>> import readline
>>> readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")

Then I wrote "int". Then I pressed TAB. Nothing happened. I pressed TAB
again, and the following appeared:

>>> int
int(     intern(  

To me this is the expected behaviour: if the system has two alternatives
(in this case it does not if it should follow with "(" or "e"), don't
continue with the first tab, and then show all the options with the
second tab (I'm used to this in bash).

Is this wrong according to you?
