Readline module

[Jonathan Daugherty]

Hello all,

I've read some posts here talking about the fact that the 'readline'
module packaged with python is only good for augmenting the behavior
of the interactive interpreter.

Can anyone recommend a readline-style alternative for building an
app with an interactive prompt (on Linux, python 2.3)?

Um, this seems a stretch.

My pyrepl library is designed for exactly that:
