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,

Hi Andreas,

thanks a lot for helping. Here is the output of M-x describe-mode:

Enabled minor modes: Auto-Composition Auto-Compression Auto-Encryption
Autopair
Autopair-Global Blink-Cursor Column-Number Delete-Selection Desktop-Save
Diff-Auto-Refine File-Name-Shadow Font-Lock Global-Font-Lock
Global-Visual-Line
Line-Number Menu-Bar Mouse-Wheel Shell-Dirtrack Show-Paren Tooltip
Transient-Mark Visual-Line Yas/Global

Cheers,

Marius
