The tab indent in emacs ipython shell

The environment is Emacs 24.1.1 on Ubuntu. using Ipython for python programming. The auto indent is works well when running ipython command on shell directly, but when i come to emacs run ipython there is no auto indent any more. and even worse when i type TAB it will prompt the Completion buffer.I also have searched this issue many times but still not found a practical method. as a result i have to enter space manually.

anyone could help to resolve this issue ? 1. auto indent on emacs ipython shell 2. disable completion on emacs ipython shell separately.keep the Tab-completion work when i am not in ipython interactive shell.

In emacs you can use python-mode, and from there send the code to *REPL* buffer with C-c C-c.

When you send the buffer for the first time, it asks you what executable you use for python, so you can use ipython, or other one.

Any invocation of ipython-shell should do a correct setup. Please file a bug-report.

If running python-mode.el -- modeline shows "Py" --

please checkout current trunk first

When bazaar is available

bzr branch lp:python-mode
