Nothing is wrong with bash.  Bash is telling you that you have not yet
installed a completion handler for python.

But it _is_ a sign that you have not installed the bash-completion
package, nor installed completions manually.

What's your distro?  On fedora, do 'yum install -y bash-completion'.  Or
get it yourself: http://bash-completion.alioth.debian.org/files/

Then start a new shell, and compare the difference.
