Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: We either have to add some translation, or tweak parts of python:
* the cmd module needs to learn how to configure libedit when the readline extension was linked to libedit * the rlcompleter documentation needs to be updated to do the same And that's just the stdlib. IIRC ipython contains code that uses libedit style configuration instead of readline when using /usr/bin/python on OSX, and there are probably other. IMHO the current behavior is confusing: the module is named readline, but sometimes uses libedit behavior. At least I ensured that the usage of libedit can be detected by introspecting readline.__doc__. A basic translator shouldn't be that hard... ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9033> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
