Hi Noam,

and thank you for a quick reply!

Seems to be impossible, unfortunately.  Does this commentary from
python.el help?

;; If your Python installation lacks readline (like CPython for
;; Windows), installing pyreadline (URL
;; `http://ipython.org/pyreadline.html') should suffice.  To
;; troubleshoot why you are not getting any completions, you can try the
;; following in your Python shell:

;; >>> import readline, rlcompleter

;; If you see an error, then you need to either install pyreadline or
;; setup custom code that avoids that dependency.

It didn't help, unfortunately: I was indeed missing pyreadline, but installing it from conda repo made no difference :-(

Neither did using "-i -u" as interactive Python arg.

I vaguely remember this working with older Pythons -- what could probably change?

Best wishes,

Andrey Paramonov
