[IronPython] ironpython alternative to PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer

[Dino Viehland]

Ops.ReadLineFromSrc will be called if for example someone calls raw_input() from Python (one way to read from the user).  IConsole.ReadLine gets called when we're reading input from the console for some code you're typing in.

I think ideally these would be using the same underlying implementation but do to the extra things our fancy console does they're rather divergent today.  For readline I suspect you'll want to be updating IConsole.ReadLine instead.

Also it'd be great if you could keep us updated when you get something working.  One of our PMs has wanted good history support, and I think Bruce (who implemented socket as part of his internship this summer) might prefer readline's key bindings :).

Thanks for the response, I will have to investigate this further.

Just to clarify, what I want to do is replace the function that is called by the ironpython interpreter to read a line of text from the user.

I'm experimenting with adding support for ironpython, I have been successful in porting some of the ctypes based routines used for keyboard event processing to ironpython using System.Console. It has been quite painless so far.
