You need to tell readline that you want the tab key to complete with
parse_and_bind(), and you need a complete function with the right signature:
>>> import readline
>>> def test(prefix, index):
... try: return [s for s in "foo forge fun".split() if
s.startswith(prefix)][index]
... except IndexError: return None
...
>>> readline.set_completer(test)
>>> readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
>>> raw_input()
f
foo forge fun
fo
foo forge
forge
'forge'
