Just wanted to update you on this. Fernando took a deeper look at this, and found that a readline macro needs to be set at compile time to prevent the space from being inserted. This is normally set by the python configure, which apparently apple does not use
define_macros=[('HAVE_RL_COMPLETION_APPEND_CHARACTER', None)],
Again, Apple did not do anything. readline is *not part of OS X*, so it can't possibly be their fault.
This problem would be the fault of whomever built the extension, out of tree... in this case, either Jack or me, depending on where you got it from.
Unfortunately I won't get around to fixing this for a while, but the Python 2.4.1 distribution <http://undefined.org/python/#python> I built comes with a readline extension built at the same time as Python, so it should work fine.
