Mmh, I just tested 2.3 with ipython 0.5.0, and tab works fine for me.  I did 
fix a few 2.3-related warnings, but I can't see how this might be related to 
readline.

Can you test 'import readline' in a normal (non-ipython) python shell?  I want 
to know if your readline support is indeed correct.

BTW, you might want to upgrade to 0.5.0, as a nasty generator (potentially 
dangerous side-effects) bug was fixed recently.

Cheers,
