[IPython-user] PyReadline: No tab completion if sys.stdout is redirected

[Dirk Loss]

Hi Jörgen,

I think I found the problem: The string buffer passed to the 
WriteConsoleW function must not be bigger than 64k (see [1] for reference).

So if our output text is longer, we have to split it into several parts 
and print each one separately. A patch is attached. It's rather 
quick&dirty but I hope you'll get the idea.

Regards
Dirk
