Bug Description

In https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+question/69092 Zearin reports that when he/she presses tab in 'bzr shell' on OS X, it just inserts a tab character rather than doing autocompletion. Autocompletion works for me on Linux.

I'd speculate it's to do either with detection of the terminal type, or absence of a python readline library.

I noticed the difference in the versions of Python. I know it has something to do with the pre-installed Python that comes on all Macs, but I hadn't noticed it before.

Dunno if it's at all connected with the <tab> bug.

I just checked up on this again, and it appears autocompletion is working in the bzr shell now.

Thanks very much! Keep up the great work!
