Autocomplete in Python Shell on Windows

Autocomplete in Python Shell on Windows

Because I drive myself insane replicating this when I find I want autocomplete on Windows, here are the steps (as of January 2017 anyway):

  • pip install pyreadline
  • pip install ipython[shell]

Except right now step 2 fails when installing scandir so I grabbed it here, installed the .whl file via pip and then ran that second step.
