    Please see http://bugs.python.org/issue5845, especially the last two comments: http://bugs.python.org/issue5845#msg215784, which requested that a new bug report be opened for this issue.

    To summarize, the previous bug was to enable tab completion in the interpreter. There was discussion and it was figured out that it could be arranged that tab indentation and completion could work at the same time. (If you are at the start of a line, possibly a "... " prompt line, tab should indent. If you are to the right of any non-whitespace character, then you should tab complete).

    From the other bug:

    "This issue [tab indent] should have gone back to being a release blocker after the alpha release to fix the tab-as-indent issue, but obviously that didn't happen (I forgot about it myself). Please open a new issue requesting a fix for this bug (that tab doesn't work as indent at the ... prompt), referencing the discussion in this issue."

    This is a *nix issue only, as tab completion is not active on Windows (except with Idle).

    It happens on my Windows 7 x64, Python 3.4.1, command shell. (IDLE works fine).

    what is the current state of this issue, reading the http://bugs.python.org/issue5845 and its changesets, it seems that all the changes that were made during that issue no longer exists, like:
    fix-5845.diff -> adds a function named enablerlcompleter (as specified in diff) in file Lib/site.py , which i cannot find in current Lib/site.py (https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/1addc4f0f10c/Lib/site.py)

    In between this issue being opened and that fact being noted on the original issue, bpo-23441 was opened, and I noticed that one and set it to release blocker. That issue has a patch, as noted, so I'm closing this one as a duplicate.
