Silvio Ricardo Cordeiro added the comment: So, if I understood correctly, the `readline` module only works for an unmodified `sys.stdin`, which is implemented in terms of C `FILE*` structures. Anything created by `open` will not be implemented in terms of C `FILE*`, and so all history and completion features of `readline` will be (silently) disabled.
Is there any workaround to make `open` (or some other file-opening function) return a file object wrapping a C `FILE*`? Maybe this behavior should be documented in the `readline` documentation?
