pyreadline3 fork

This project is a fork of pyreadline3.

Background:

• pyreadline3: An updated version of pyreadline, which was created when pyreadline became inactive in 2014.
• Current Status: Unfortunately, pyreadline3 has also become inactive, with pull requests pending since 2022.

Needed Updates:

• The official GNU readline, is still under activate development and includes ANSI escape sequences that neither pyreadline nor pyreadline3 currently support.
• A package that I use, uses the official GNU readline and therefore uses ansi escape sequences that neither pyreadline nor pyreadline3 had defined.

Therefore, the only purpose of this fork is to add these needed keys.

This does not in any way make this fork a complete implementation of readline, it only adds minor things to pyreadline3.

Any bug fixes or new features should probably still be sent to pyreadline3.

Use:

To use this version of pyreadline3:

uninstall the old version:

pip uninstall pyreadline3

install this version:

pip install git+https://github.com/jplusc/pyreadline3.git

missing git for windows?

choco upgrade git -y

missing choco?

Seriously, if you have to use windows, use a package manager to make it less painfull. https://chocolatey.org/

from powershell:

pyreadline3

The pyreadline3 package is based on the stale package pyreadline located here. The original pyreadline package is a python implementation of GNU readline functionality. It is based on the ctypes based UNC readline package by Gary Bishop. It is not complete. It has been tested for use with Windows 10.

Version 3.4+ of pyreadline3 runs on Python 3.5+.

pyreadline3 is available on PyPI and can be installed with

pip install pyreadline3
