Hi Lukas,

Thanks for the patch!

I prepared a similar one, but I didn't end up pushing it, because the bug has a more complex root cause.  Essentially, the issue is that completion doesn't work for empty strings in when python-shell-interpreter points to Python 3 (see also the original bug report, #22897).

A good way to experiment with this is to copy the completion code to a separate file (I attached it) and run python -i completion.py.  In python 2.7, pressing TAB shows a bunch of completions.  In 3.5, it just inserts a tab.

Can you help figure out why this happen?  Then we could fix the root of this bug.

Cheers,
Clément.
