[Python] Autocomplete pdb and .venv

I have the following file 'test.py'

#!/usr/bin/env python3

if __name__ == '__main__':
test: str = "This is a test"
breakpoint()
print(test)


When executing this (no venv) auto-complete works fine, e.g.

> python test.py
> /home/USER/projects/pdb-autocomplete-test/test.py(5)<module>()
-> breakpoint()
(Pdb) p test
'This is a test'
(Pdb)


I only typed 'p t< TAB >' and it auto-completed to 'p test'.

If I then create a virtual environment like this, and finally execute again:

> uv venv
> source .venv/bin/activate
> python3 test.py
> /home/USER/projects/pdb-autocomplete-test/test.py(6)<module>()
-> print(test)
(Pdb) p t<TAB>


gives 'p t < TAB INDENT >' instead of auto completing.

Additional info

> python --version
Python 3.12.11

> uname -r
6.15.9-201.fc42.x86_64


So how do I enable pdb autocomplete from virtual environment?
