Is there a way of using raw_input without leaving a sign in the readline history, so that it don't show when tab-completing?

+2  A: 

You could make a function something like

import readline

def raw_input_no_history():
    input = raw_input()
    readline.remove_history_item(readline.get_current_history_length()-1)
    return input

and call that function instead of raw_input. You may not need the minus 1 dependent on where you call it from.

Thanks. But you forgot to return the output of raw_input ;)
