*scratches head* Do people forget that the vanilla Python REPL has come with tab completion for nearly 20 years, and on by default for something like seven years? https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/d5ef330bac50 https://docs.python.org/release/2.0/lib/module-rlcompleter.html (At least on Linux/POSIX systems. I don't know if it works on Windows or Macs.) I've had Linux-using Python programmers tell me that they couldn't imagine not using Jupyter specifically because of tab completion. They weren't even aware that the standard interpreter has it as a feature. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/LYROBC6QVZZ32SPOWQ4UTEGEP7KN5TPY/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
