I don't understand the comment. Most of the readline functionality is  
already present on Windows XP (command history, up/down arrows, edit entry  
with left/right arrows, choose entry from list, autocompletion, separate  
buffers for each program...). On earlier versions you only had to load  
doskey.exe (or doskey.com) at startup, and the command had existed from  
jurasic age... That Python on Windows doesn't support specifically the GNU  
readline utility is irrelevant.
