I honestly don't have a clue why that can be happening, as the pylab
support and readline completion are pretty orthogonal features.

Furthermore, I can't reproduce the behavior you describe on my system...

Now, if you don't want to see the __ names at all, you can set in your
config file:

readline_omit__names 1

which is what I use always.  I think we'll make this the default
moving forward, it's really just visual noise to show all that
__business to users all the time.
