I propose to append this to debian/copyright: GNU Readline ------------ The `readline' module makes use of GNU Readline. The GNU Readline Library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) any later version. On Debian systems, you can find the complete statement in `/usr/share/doc/libreadline5/copyright'. A copy of the GNU General Public License is available in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'. python2.4 is also affected by this bug. Moreover, python2.4 and python2.5 are linked against OpenSSL while GNU Readline does not have the special exception. This means, at best, that a user cannot use both module using crypto (_ssl.so and _hashlib.so) and readline module. This means that in the interactive interpreter, it cannot do any crypto. As stated in the original message, a solution could be to use editline. However, enabling it seems to require some changes. Some symbols like emacs_meta-keymap or rl_instream does not exist. Its configuration is also different: it does not parse .inputrc and does not have the same language configuration. For example, instead of doing: readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete") you must write: readline.parse_and_bind("bind ^I rl_complete") Python shipped in MacOSX uses editline. -- Identify bad input; recover if possible. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
