AFAIU it might matter, wherefrom you open the shell. It may or will
have it's own (minor-)mode, where TAB completion is provided or not.
In different available python-shells for example, TAB completion
might be performed by different functions.
Call M-x describe-mode from inside shell, to get info which mode is
behind, which keys are set etc,
