Ah.
Could you please try
import readline
readline.<TAB>
and paste in the output?
With GNU readline, we get:
In [2]: readline.
readline.__builtins__ readline.get_current_history_length
readline.__class__ readline.get_endidx
readline.__delattr__ readline.get_history_item
readline.__dict__ readline.get_history_length
readline.__doc__ readline.get_line_buffer
readline.__file__ readline.have_readline
readline.__getattribute__ readline.insert_text
readline.__hash__ readline.parse_and_bind
readline.__init__ readline.read_history_file
readline.__name__ readline.read_init_file
readline.__new__ readline.redisplay
readline.__reduce__ readline.remove_history_item
readline.__reduce_ex__ readline.replace_history_item
readline.__repr__ readline.set_completer
readline.__setattr__ readline.set_completer_delims
readline.__str__ readline.set_history_length
readline._rl readline.set_pre_input_hook
readline.add_history readline.set_startup_hook
readline.clear_history readline.sys
readline.get_begidx readline.uses_libedit
readline.get_completer readline.write_history_file
readline.get_completer_delims
And the critical one is
readline.insert_text
which we use to rewrite the new line you're about to type into via the
pre_readline method:
http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/browser/ipython/trunk/IPython/iplib.py#L1281
If that function doesn't exist, or is a no-op, we're stuck without
auto-indent in Leopard. If it does work, then we may be doing
something else incorrectly though. I unfortunately don't have a
leopard box to test on yet (waiting for my wife's laptop to
arrrive...).
Cheers,
