As requested in the upstream tracker, I've filed a bug in the upstream tracker: http://bugs.python.org/issue5845
** Bug watch added: Python Roundup #5845 http://bugs.python.org/issue5845 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python3.4 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315733 Title: Python interactive interpreter does not indent with tabs, tries to tab-complete Status in “python3.4” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “python3.4” package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: Using the python3 interactive interpreter, I can not use tabs to indent like I could on previous versions of Ubuntu (13.10 was what I was using before, now I'm using 14.04). When I try to indent on the python interpreter command line, it simply does nothing the first time I press the tab key. The second time I press it, it shows a bunch of autocomplete suggestions. For example >>> if (True): ... <tab>print("true!") File "<stdin>", line 2 print("true!") ^ IndentationError: expected an indented block Could this be related to http://bugs.python.org/issue18988? Is the fix for that included in the version of python on 14.04? I also found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4809820/tab-key-not- indenting-in-python, in which one of the comments to an answer suggests trying <Ctrl-V><tab> when you want to insert a tab. That does work for me: >>> if (True): ... <Ctrl-V><tab>print("true") ... true ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: python3 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia zfs zunicode zavl zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sat May 3 11:36:57 2014 SourcePackage: python3-defaults UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-04-19 (14 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.4/+bug/1315733/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
