Martin Panter added the comment: Solution 3 (documentation) can easily be done for existing versions of Python. Any other fix I think would have to be done in the next Python version (3.6).
By solution 2 (dynamically swap histories), do you mean add an API to save and load the entire history list somewhere, like read/write_history_file(), but maybe to a Python list instead? A variation on solution 4 came to my mind: Add a global variable or function to the readline module to enable or disable automatic history addition. Or maybe a callback that is run after a line is entered, with it set to the current implementation by default. If I understand solution 5 (new version of call_readline), that also seems reasonable. I guess you mean to add a new function to replace the Python call to input()? A minor downside would be that the caller has to do extra work if it wants to use input() when the Readline library is unavailable. ---------- components: +Extension Modules -Library (Lib) nosy: +martin.panter versions: -Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26870> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
