I am a complete newbie when it comes to emacs. I've got this problem with my 25.2.1 emacs running on Windows 10. Trying to run a python code results in the following error.

Warning (python): Your ‘python-shell-interpreter’ doesn’t seem to support
readline, yet ‘python-shell-completion-native-enable’ was t and "python" 
is not part of the ‘python-shell-completion-native-disabled-interpreters’ 
list.  Native completions have been disabled locally.

This problem has been discussed at this forum before in the following link Your ‘python-shell-interpreter’ doesn’t seem to support readline

I have tried all the tricks stated in that link but have had no success 

(with-eval-after-load 'python
  (defun python-shell-completion-native-try ()
    "Return non-nil if can trigger native completion."
    (let ((python-shell-completion-native-enable t)
          (python-shell-completion-native-output-timeout
           python-shell-completion-native-try-output-timeout))
      (python-shell-completion-native-get-completions
       (get-buffer-process (current-buffer))
       nil "_"))))

Do you have any suggestions for me?

The links you were reading are mostly about macOS and/or Emacs 25.1 and earlier.

Unfortunately, the "native" completion won't work under Windows, as it lacks PTYs.

So you should do (setq python-shell-completion-native-disabled-interpreters '("python")) to suppress the warning, and accept the "fallback" completion method without further noise.
