[New-bugs-announce] [issue18336] codecs: Link to readline module (history) instead of fd.readline()

[Thomas Guettler]

New submission from Thomas Guettler:

The documentation of codecs.readline() has a link to the readline module.

That the same word with a total different meaning!

http://docs.python.org/2/library/codecs.html?highlight=readline#codecs.StreamReader.readline

The GNU readline module is about the history like bash or interactive python.
