In a quick test here, I can comment out all references to readline in prompt/interpreter.py (the import statement and the tab completion code near line 202). Thus modified, relax runs fine, the prompt interface works, but lacks tab-completion as expected. Admitedly all this is in Linux, but I see no reason why it won't work in Windows two (no guarantees it wont turn up more Unix-specific issues elsewhere, of course). I suspect that if you ran relax from inside an appropriately featured IDE you could even recover that functionality courtesy of the IDE's implimentation (can't easily test that here, though).
