pyreadline looked promising for its extensive ctypes implementation of
the Windows console API [1], wrapped by high-level methods such as
peek, getchar, and getkeypress. It turns out it ignores the event
sequences you need for alt+numpad input (used when a file is dragged
into the console). You'd have to modify its console and keysyms
modules to make it work. It would be a useful enhancement, so probably
your patches would be accepted upstream.

AFAICT, pyrepl has no Windows support. Check the TODO [2]:
