Does it help if you install pyreadline?  From comments in python.el:

    ;; If your
    ;; Python installation lacks readline (like CPython for Windows),
    ;; installing pyreadline (URL `http://ipython.org/pyreadline.html')
    ;; should suffice.  To troubleshoot why you are not getting any
    ;; completions, you can try the following in your Python shell:

    ;; >>> import readline, rlcompleter

    ;; If you see an error, then you need to either install pyreadline or
    ;; setup custom code that avoids that dependency.
