I saw that *someone* had downloaded it from a *.reston1.va.home.com
address...

No, neither do I.  But it might be nice to have sufficient hooks in
the core to allow a sufficiently enterprising user to replace readline
with it.

  I would recommend not wasting any more time on the naming
  issue. (This is a recurring theme in my posts -- remember, I spent
  about 0.3 microseconds thinking about whether "Python" would be a
  good name for a programming language, and I've never regretted it.)

I'll give you 0.2 microseconds :-)

But, yes.  Anyone have any ideas? (or I'll just call it pyttyinput)
