Summary: Added support for custom readline functions
Initial Comment:
This patch allows for binding a key or keyseq to a custom function named
custom. A custom handler can be registered and will be called by readline when
the registered sequence input.
Example:
rl.py
--
import readline
def handler():
print "need some help?"
readline.set_custom_hook(handler)
readline.parse_and_bind("\"?\": custom")
text = raw_input("type ? for help# ")
--

If by adopt you mean adapt, that is what I have done. I simplified things
to allow a single named function "custom" but it uses the gnu readline
custom function interface (rl_add_defunc) . Have you even looked at the
patch?

Gnu readline supports custom functions in C - it would be better to adopt
the gnu readline custom function interface to python, rather than using the
'custom' handler which smells of a hack.
