Could be, but it's hard to believe that whatever completion defect we have in python.el for Python 2 on macOS is affecting a lot of people. It seems usable enough to me, given the circumstances.

Thank you. I don't want to steamroller a change, but there is a real risk of paralysis from too much deference to code details that might just as well have been a simple oversight, which I believe is what happened here.

And again, I'd be happy to help debug the problem on macOS if someone is very bothered about the problem now or in the future.
