I thought so too, but apparently the behaviour being talked about is a bash extension to readline. Adding it to Python would be a feature request, not a bug fix.
In that case, I think it's unfortunately that Python doesn't provide a way to warn about unimplemented stuff in .inputrc. Both on my Mac and on my Gentoo system, C-o simply does nothing.
Please do file a bug about this. Python's interface to readline is pretty old, I wouldn't be surprised if more functionality could be added.
