I should claify that I'm asking about the module for providing access to
the GNU readline interface, not the method Python provides for reading
lines from a file.  I know there is an entry for this in the Python
Library Reference but it's not enough for me to get started.  Maybe
after I get a bit more used to the language it will be.
