    Recent trunk/py3k revisions add a spurious space character after the
    opening parenthesis when doing completion at the interpreter prompt. For
    example if you type "he" and then press the Tab key, it will display
    "help( " instead of "help(".

    What system are you using?  On Windows 3.0.1, standard interpreter window,
'h' 'e' '<tab>' prints 'h' 'e' ' ' ' ' (making, with '>>> ', 8 chars.
Which is to say, there is no tab completion.

    On IDLE, same brings up box and <tab> <tab> completes to 'help'

    This is with readline and rlcompleter enabled.
    However, it actually does this with the installed system Python too, so
    I fear some system-specific problem (perhaps a buggy readline library).
