readline: edit-and-execute-command

[josh]

anybody know why "edit-and-execute-command" doesn't work in python's readline?
it doesn't even show up in a dump of readline functions:

$ cat fc_test
C-p: dump-functions
C-e: edit-and-execute-command
$
$ python
Python 2.4 (#1, Jan 14 2005, 14:29:23)
[GCC 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
--- import readline
--- readline.read_init_file('fc_test')

if you hit control p, and you won't see 'edit-and-execute-command'
listed at all, though you will when you run "INPUTRC=fc_test bash"

thanks in advance

Is that a standard readline command? It's not in my readline(3). It
might just be added for bash.

That said, this would be very useful. You should submit an RFE on the
Sourceforge tracker.
