[issue9748] .inputrc magic-space breaks interactive mode

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

I didn't know what "magic space" is. But a quick google search shows that it is specific to Bash.

in http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2003/papers/bash_tips/#S16
"""
There are other readline-based programs without this feature, so make it only apply in Bash:

$if Bash
  Space: magic-space
$endif

For example the MySQL client and the Perl debugger can also use the readline library.
"""

Python also uses the readline library; you should add the "$if Bash".
