This is almost strictly for Google to index in hopes that it helps someone else trying to do what I was doing. Also, this was probably in the documentation somewhere, but I hate reading documentation.
IPython is an enhanced interactive shell for Python. Out of the box if you run the WxIPython program you may get the following error when attempting to do tab completion:
'InteractiveShell' object has no attribute 'Completer'
This just means that you didn't install PyReadline. IPython should really be smart enough to figure this out on its own — tab completion is part of the core functionality of IPython. Therefore, they could also bundle PyReadline with the default Windows installation package. Especially since it looks like PyReadline was developed by the same group.
