I am sure there are examples of widgets that do autocomplete depending on which UI library you want to use. Here is an example for wxPython http://wiki.wxpython.org/TextCtrlAutoComplete . The discouraging of 'almost duplicate' tags is going to be more difficult because it probably requires someone to either merge tags or some intelligence to know that two tags are equivalent. For casual use, it would be more efficient to create a process where a moderator can merge tags. I suppose you could also disallow the use of new tags or have them put into a moderation queue.
