init(autoreset=True) interfers with cmd autocomplatation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Put this in a file.py

--------------------------------
from colorama import init
init(autoreset=True)
import cmd

class C(cmd.Cmd):
    def do_hello(self, line):
        pass

C().cmdloop()
--------------------------------

and run it:

python file.py

Try to hit TAB to cmd autocomplete. Don't work. If I use init instead of 
init(autoscape=True) then cmd autocomplete mode works fine.

Thank you for the bug report.

I can't reproduce this right now, because I'm on WindowsXP today, and I don't 
see tab completion working *at all*, but I might be doing it wrong. Let me try 
it out on Ubuntu when I get home, see if I can reproduce there.

This is still a problem on Windows 7. Workaround: setting wrap=False bypasses 
the problem, but you can't use autoreset

4 years huh? About time I took a look.

I can't reproduce this. Recently fixed issues corrected an incompatibility 
between Colorama and PyReadline - it's possible cmd was catching and silently 
ignoring the resulting exception, with the only visible symptom being that 
completion did nothing.

I'm marking this as 'can't reproduce' for the moment, but will happily re-open 
it again if need be.
