I made some comments when closing #6695 (1). I have Python 2.7.13 installed via Homebrew, and readline is installed as well. I tested the default Python 2.6.9 that ships with OSX and there's no command-completion. $python Python 2.6.9 (unknown, Feb 7 2017, 00:08:08) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.34)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import readline >>> readline.__doc__ 'Importing this module enables command line editing using libedit readline.' Installing gnureadline (2), which is a replacement for readline on pypi, doesn't seem to fix the issue. I'd like to improve the documentation for TracAdmin (3) if anyone can demonstrate more accurately when readline may be needed on OSX. I'm mainly concerned with Python 2.7 since Trac is moving towards dropping support for all earlier versions of Python. Since OSX does not appear to provide Python 2.7, it must be installed somehow, so I'd be interested to know if command completion works after installing the official Python distribution for OSX (4).
