Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: I'd guess the same. Most of the readline module is just a thin wrapper around the system readline library, so if the system readline library uses one-based indexing, so does the readline module. Changing this would probably be quite error-prone, with a high chance of introducing off-by- one errors somewhere along the line.
Interestingly, the Apple-supplied python (2.6.1) in OS X 10.6 does have zero-based readline history. See issue 6872. ---------- nosy: +marketdickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6786> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
