Hi!
I propose to append this to debian/copyright:
GNU Readline
------------
The `readline' module makes use of GNU Readline.
The GNU Readline Library is free software; you can redistribute it
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at
your option) any later version.
On Debian systems, you can find the complete statement in
`/usr/share/doc/libreadline5/copyright'. A copy of the GNU General
Public License is available in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'.
python2.4 is also affected by this bug.
Moreover, python2.4 and python2.5 are linked against OpenSSL while GNU
Readline does not have the special exception. This means, at best, that
a user cannot use both module using crypto (_ssl.so and _hashlib.so) and
readline module. This means that in the interactive interpreter, it
cannot do any crypto.
As stated in the original message, a solution could be to use editline.
However, enabling it seems to require some changes. Some symbols like
emacs_meta-keymap or rl_instream does not exist. Its configuration is
also different: it does not parse .inputrc and does not have the same
language configuration. For example, instead of doing:
readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
you must write:
readline.parse_and_bind("bind ^I rl_complete")
Python shipped in MacOSX uses editline.
