Might be that something's pre-importing it. My ~/.pythonrc contains the following: import readline import rlcompleter readline.parse_and_bind( 'tab: complete' ) IIRC, that's been there "forever," certainly back into Python2, and probably back into Python1. On my Arch Linux system Python 3.10.9, I get readline behavior with or without those lines. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
