1 /* This module makes GNU readline available to Python. It has ideas
2 * contributed by Lee Busby, LLNL, and William Magro, Cornell Theory
3 * Center. The completer interface was inspired by Lele Gaifax.
5 * More recently, it was largely rewritten by Guido van Rossum who is
6 * now maintaining it.
