New submission from Silvio Ricardo Cordeiro:
The following code works on python2 (tested with 2.7.6), but breaks readline
for python3 (tested with 3.4.3):
>>> import sys, readline
>>> sys.stdin = open('/dev/tty', 'r')
>>> input("> ") # press "7<Enter>"
>>> input("> ") # press "up" key
Re-opening /dev/tty as stdin is a very useful technique. For example, one could
debug a script that takes a file as stdin by re-opening the stdin as /dev/tty
and using pdb.set_trace().
See bug report for python2 in 2002 here: https://bugs.python.org/issue512981
