Hi there. 

I recently downloaded the python 2.7 installer from the python website and installed it on my Mac. 

When I run python2.7 in interactive mode, the tab key doesn't seem to behave as how it did in 2.6.

For example


>> def helloWorld(name):                                                                    
... ./                                                                                    File "<stdin>", line 2   
    ./                                                                                    
    ^                                                                                       
IndentationError: expected an indented block     

When you hit tab it seems to think I want to browse the contents of the current directory I'm in, rather than placing a tab character so I can quickly use python in interactive mode to prototype stuff.

I'd imagine it's something to do with GNU readline, but I'm pretty sure I have this installed
