Brian,
Thanks, I was just considering doing this myself. I would be happy to help
document this if there is a suitable wiki for it, once a clear path gets
figured out. If you do google searches for readline os x, or ipython, etc,
you will tons, of people who have had this problem for quite some
I am forwarding this to the ipython-dev list. A number of the core
ipython dev's use OS X, so we will surely jump on this one as soon as
we get our hands on Leopard. This (libedit support) is great news as
it has been one of the main problems with the built-in Python on OS X
for a long time.

And now svn.python.org is down, so I can't get it anyway.

Thanks, but no thanks. I see no need to drag Objective-C (and PyObjC)
into this.
Anyone generated the CF types for CoreFoundation?

Interesting.
FWIW I just built IPython against the system python (with libedit,
apparently) and it works fine; I have readline-like command
navigation, history support, etc.
I was not aware of any change from using readline (which is what I
used with 10.4.x)

We did fix a few bugs related to IPython and Leopard's python, so to
some degree, it does work (sorry, I don't use IPython myself). There
was a problem with IPython explicitly loading ~/.inputrc when readline
support is available, which will fail due to the command syntax
problem. Just gu
Edward,
Thanks for the information. Do you know of a way to get IPython to use
edline instead? IPython is growing in popularity for Python programmers,
and it seems like getting a way forward that works with edline makes sense,
or maybe I am wrong and people will need to just manually install rea

Unfortunately, the Objective-C API is not as functional.

AFAIK you don't need to do anything special (i.e. write "ctypes
definitions") to call the CF functions with ctypes. Just call them.
Here's a snippet of code that I use to open a PDF document and get
the number of pages:
from ctypes import cdll, byref, c_void_p, c_int, c_uint, c_float,
c_d
Please ignore my previous email. I hope it didn't come across as
condescending. Really, I was only trying to help. Unfortunately, I
had not read your question thoroughly enough.

I'm trying to call the Spotlight system from Python, and I thought I'd
try using the ctypes support in Python 2.5 to use the MDQuery
framework. However, it seems that I'll have to unearth and write
ctypes definitions for a number of Core Foundation C++ types, in order
to do that. Has anyone alrea

Is there a plan for a Leopard binary that fixes readline, or can I help
