new versions - starchief - Dec-10-2018
I have version Python 3.6.2 (v3.6.2:5fd33b5, Jul 8 2017, 04:57:36) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
why dont newer versions let me turn autocomplete and and call tips off? I don't see where the newer versions let me set these features to false
RE: new versions - buran - Dec-10-2018
autocompletion and call tips (I guess these are parameter hints) are features of your IDE, not the language. So eventually you should look at your IDE, however I don't see any reason a developer to want to turn them off. You can always use simple text editor like that does not support any of these

Perhaps he talks about readline and rlcompleter.
# .pythonstartup
import readline
import rlcompleter
import atexit
import os
# tab completion
readline.parse_and_bind('tab: complete')
# history file
histfile = os.path.join(os.environ['HOME'], '.pythonhistory')
try:
readline.read_history_file(histfile)
except IOError:
pass
atexit.register(readline.write_history_file, histfile)
del os, histfile, readline, rlcompleter
