I'm not sure I understand the problem you mean but it's possible it has to do with which of the two line-completion libraries the python you are using is linked with: gnu readline or bsd editline. Generally, recent python.org pythons are linked with the former while Apple's built-in python has the latter. Unfortunately, the two have different syntax.
