pip uninstall ipythonĭowngrading iPython did the trick. The classic ‘have you tried turning it off and on again’ worked for me. Upgrading pyreadline fixed it for me: C:\Users\me>pip install -upgrade pyreadline Pip told me I had pyreadline version 1.7.1 installed C:\Users\me>pip freeze | grep readline It is needed for tab completion and other IPython functions – in Windows it doesn’t come with the IPython package and you have to install it separately – > pip install pyreadline How to solve the problem: Solution 1:īe sure you have installed the pyreadline library. Could you please suggest some possible causes for this problem? I am running Windows 7 and Python 2.6.5. Tab completion on IPython seems not to be working.
