======================================
WARNING: THIS PACKAGE IS DEPRECATED!
======================================
It has been renamed to **GNUREADLINE** to resolve a name clash with the
standard library module. Please go to the new `gnureadline`_ PyPI page.
Stand-alone readline module
===========================
Some platforms, such as Mac OS X, do not ship with `GNU readline`_ installed.
The readline extension module in the standard library of Mac "system" Python
uses NetBSD's `editline`_ (libedit) library instead, which is a readline
replacement with a less restrictive software license.
As the alternatives to GNU readline do not have fully equivalent functionality,
it is useful to add proper readline support to these platforms. This module
achieves this by bundling the standard Python readline module with the GNU
readline source code, which is compiled and statically linked to it. The end
result is a package which is simple to install and requires no extra shared
libraries.
The module can be used with both Python 2.x and 3.x **but only up to 3.3**, and
has been tested with Python versions 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. The first
three numbers of the module version reflect the version of the underlying GNU
readline library (major, minor and patch level), while any additional fourth
number distinguishes different module updates based on the same readline library.
This module is usually unnecessary on Linux and other Unix systems with default
readline support. An exception is if you have a Python distribution that does
not include GNU readline due to licensing restrictions (such as ActiveState's
ActivePython in the past). If you are using Windows, which also ships without
GNU readline, you might want to consider using the `pyreadline`_ module instead,
which is a readline replacement written in pure Python that interacts with the
Windows clipboard.
The latest development version is available from the `GitHub repository`_.

* Uses Python 3.x readline.c from release32-maint branch (r88446)
6.2.0 (2011-06-02)
------------------
* #5: Removed '-arch ppc' on Mac OS 10.6, as Snow Leopard supports Intel only
* Updated to build against readline 6.2 (patch-level 1)
6.1.0 (2010-09-20)
------------------

* #2: Python 3 support
* Uses Python 2.x readline.c from release27-maint branch (r83672)
* Uses Python 3.x readline.c from r32a2 tag (r84541)
* Source code moved to GitHub
* Additional maintainer: Sridhar Ratnakumar
2.6.4 (2009-11-26)
------------------
* Added -fPIC to compiler flags to fix linking error on 64-bit Ubuntu
* Enabled all readline functionality specified in pyconfig.h macros
* Uses readline.c from Python svn trunk (r75725), which followed 2.6.4 release
* Patched readline.c to replace Py_XDECREF calls with the safer Py_CLEAR
* Fixed compilation error on Mac OS 10.4 with XCode older than version 2.4
2.6.1 (2009-11-18)
------------------
* Updated package to work with Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard), which ships with
Python 2.6.1

* Backported "spurious trailing space" bugfix from Python svn trunk (see e.g.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/python/+bug/470824 for details on bug)
* Updated to build against readline 6.0 (patch-level 4)
* Now builds successfully on Linux (removed Mac-specific flags in this case),
and still supports Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5
2.5.1 (2008-05-28)
------------------
* Updated package to work with Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), which ships with Python
2.5.1
* Uses readline.c from Python 2.5.1 release
* Updated to build against readline 5.2 (patch-level 12)
* New maintainer: Ludwig Schwardt
2.4.2 (2005-12-26)
------------------
* Original package by Bob Ippolito, supporting Python 2.3 / 2.4 on Mac OS 10.3
(Panther) and 10.4 (Tiger)
* Builds against readline 5.1
