I'm not sure I understand yet. I believe I have worked out the conditional logic to determine when we're linked against the libedit library versus GNU readline. But from inside the python on Leopard - that uses libedit for its readline module - I can get tab-completion to WORK when I'm running python by using the EditLine syntax that Edward Moy suggested. BUT from inside *ipython* I get a segmentation fault. I was all set to add the code to the IPython ipylib.py but I need to determine the cause of the segfault first. I'm using IPython from subversion trunk with {2007-10-28} as the SVN tag.
