[issue20631] python readline module crashing on NULL access

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I think an answer to Benjamin’s question is necessary to move this forward. The code already checks the index before calling history_get(). How do you manage to get null pointers returned for every history item?

In the LLVM bug thread, I noticed “libedit” a.k.a. Editline mentioned a few times. Are you sure Python is using Gnu Readline, or is it somehow hooking into Editline? Python only really supports Editline on Apple, not Linux (see Issue 13501 for expanding that support).
