Summary: use readline in pydoc.help if available

Initial Comment:
Interactive help (via pydoc.interact in 2.1 onwards)
doesn't use GNU readline.  This is easily amended by
using raw_input() instead of input.readline().  The
patch assumes that Helper.input is sys.stdin when
Helper.interact() is called but can be fixed trivially
if this assumption is invalid..

Jeremy, are you willing to revise your patch, considering
Guido's comment?

I like the idea, but not the execution. It should only use
raw_input when self.input is sys.stdin.
