[issue25660] tabs don't work correctly in python repl

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Sorry to throw a potential spanner in the works, but I think this introduces a dependence on the readline module. Consider what happens when the Completer class is used but Readline is not, or even if the “readline” could not be imported (see bottom of rlcompleter.py).

Maybe there is a way around this, but it might involve more complicated code.

priority: release blocker -> high
