IPython on Windows - No highlighting or Auto-complete

Question

this has been an issue for a long time for me, but as I mainly develop using Linux I never really cared much about this problem till now.

iPython on Windows lacks various features.

I really miss color ~~highlighting~~ and auto-completion.

Edit: fixed highlighting by installing pyreadline

pip install pyreadline

Anyone already dealt with this?

Tab completion works for me after installing PyReadline. This in a Windows XP machine with Python 2.5. Installed PyReadline 1.7. – R.K. May 01 '11 at 05:52
