Matthias, no, that was not apparently the intent, see the last two messages of 
that bug report:
http://bugs.python.org/issue5845#msg215784
The bug report was tracking multiple issues, and someone forgot about this one 
(and later said that they did, and said "should have gone back to being a 
release blocker after the alpha release to fix the tab-as-indent issue"). The 
intent of that bug report was to enable tab to complete, but also still allow 
tab in the interpreter as indentation (so a tab at the start of a 
(continuation) line would indent, and a tab after a non-whitespace character 
would complete).
They requested that this issue be raised in a new bugreport on the python bug 
tracker -- doing that now. Is it reasonable for me to set this bug back to 
confirmed?
