But I cannot get this feature to work on my LLDB 7.0.1 on linux after I enable python, where an actual tab is inserted after the cursor and similar for other control characters like Backspace. Both in lldb console and the embedded python interpreter：

The python interpreter may or may not support tab completion. On my mac, I just typed "python" and got the >>> and typed:

>>> import json
>>> json.lo<TAB>

and I just have a TAB inserted into the output. So python might not have tab completion enabled by default? Checkout your python interpreter from the command line and let us know if it works?
