Package: python2.5
Version: 2.5.4-2
Tags: patch
Hello,
now that Python uses libreadline6, an irritating behavior has been
introduced: completing with <TAB> for example in the interactive
interpreter introduces an spurios space after the completed word.
This has been reported upstream [1], and an isolated patch exists [2],
which I'm attaching to this bug report. Please considering applying it
(it applies fine to 2.5).
Thanks.
