I am sorry, i guess i was "slightly" wrong.
The completion is not automatic, someone added it to my working 
environment and i just thought it was part of the default behaiviour.
But it should be very easy to add to any other environment, i saw that 
the next three lines should do the job:

>>> import rlcompleter
>>> import readline
>>> readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")


Regarding the indentation, there is no support in the regular python 
shell... only in the 'ipython' shell or the 'idle' shell that are kind 
of improved CUIs for python.

In spite of that, i still think that the python shell has advantages, 
there is a difference between having direct response to the commands 
executed in python and having to imagine that the syntax is ok till you 
finish writing all the code. Also mixing the history of lines insterted 
in python context and lines inserted in gdb language is kind of 
bothering, they cannot really be reused.
|Thanks again for all the great work.
