[IronPython] ironpython alternative to PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer

[Jörgen Stenarson]

Dino,
I've been sucessful in locating ReadLineFromSrc but not IConsole (from 
the IronPythonConsole). However ReadLineFromSrc is a read only attribute 
in the IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops module. Ideally I would like to 
do something like this:

import IronPython

def my_readline():
     txt=System.Console.ReadLine()
     return txt

IronPython.readline=my_readline

But I guess it could be difficult if what I want to override a method in 
a class instance written in C#. Am I right? Could this be changed in 
that case?

/Jörgen

>> Hi,

>> I'm working on a python based implementation of readline (pyreadline available from http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/PyReadline/Intro). 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.
