IPython on Windows - No highlighting or Auto-complete


this has been an issue for a long time for me, but as I mainly develop using Linux I never really cared much about this problem till now.

iPython on Windows lacks various features.

I really miss color highlighting and auto-completion.


Edit: fixed highlighting by installing pyreadline

pip install pyreadline


Anyone already dealt with this?


Solution
