The trailing space is a compiled-in feature of the readline library. It's annoying. Some python folks found a solution <https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/42> by recompiling readline from source after changing the default "rl_completion_append_character" from ' ' (space) to '\0' (null).
I tried doing this on OSX 10.11.1 but got stuck. It appeared to install correctly but the behavior in jconsole stayed the same.
