When you do

raw_input()
A<tab>

instead of putting the tab character into the input
buffer, IDLE opens the completion window. It should not
do this, since the user is interacting with its
application, not with the Python interpreter at this point.

[kbkaiser]

Hard to fix since IDLE doesn't know that the interpreter went into
input state.

However, control-tab appears to do what you want.
