In the shell, the text wraps around to the next line, which is 
acceptable.
This is not the case for Emacs windows split vertically with C-x 3 or 
ECB.
Using pprint eliminates the need for horizontal scrolling in this case.
You do make a good point though; this is essentially a Python 
configuration
and not an Emacs one.

On my system, the emacs.py rlcompleter interface works correctly and
outputs a string, but python.el does not successfully read this string
and reports "Can't find completion for "os.""

I am using CVS from 20 March on Mac OS X. The problem occurs both in
Emacs.app and emacs -q -nw.  Judging by your experience, I fear it
might be specific to my platform.
