Hi there. 
I recently downloaded the python 2.7 installer from the python website and installed it on my Mac. 
When I run python2.7 in interactive mode, the tab key doesn't seem to behave as how it did in 2.6.
For example
>> def helloWorld(name): 
... ./ File "<stdin>", line 2 
 ./ 
 ^ 
IndentationError: expected an indented block 
When you hit tab it seems to think I want to browse the contents of the current directory I'm in, rather than placing a tab character so I can quickly use python in interactive mode to prototype stuff.
I'd imagine it's something to do with GNU readline, but I'm pretty sure I have this installed

The problem you see is with the 2.7 64-/32-bit OS X installer and is documented and will be fixed with the patch in Issue9907. In the meantime, a workaround is to delete the installed 2.7 framework and install the 32-bit-only version which is built with GNU readline.
