readline.c & more

[Johannes Zellner]

Hello,

I just compiled python 2 from CVS.

 ¹) I had to modify Objects/fileobject.c because there was a
    name clash between `getline' there and in /usr/include/stdio.h
    (as it comes with the latest debian potato). I replaced
    `getline' with `file_getline' in Objects/fileobject.c.
 ²) I modified Modules/readline.c so that it allows reading and
    writing of a history file. I also plan to implement readline
    functions as `stifle history'. Eventually I'd also add the
    possiblity to register a script completer which would be
    called before the builtin completers. My question about
    this: where would I post patches ? -- I've an account on
    SF for other projects, but as this is my first mail to the
    list I'd understand if you won't trust me ;-)
 ³) Is there a forum for developers? This list seems more for
    users isn't it ?

greetings,

--
