recently I saw with this little piece of code to give the standard python shell tab completion capabilities:
# setup tab completion in python shell
import rlcompleter
import readline
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
obviously, you can use the environmental variable PYTHONSTART to execute this few lines anytime you start your python shell.
