I've just tried it on Kubuntu's konsole. I see strange reactions:
After typing "imp" I have to hit ESC three times before "ort" is added, and
afterwards a character is swallowed. However, I can get the expected
behaviour after binding the key explicitly with
>>> import readline
>>> readline.parse_and_bind("esc: complete")
I'm not sure whether Python is to blame or Ubuntu; it may be an interference
with konsole's key bindings.
