[issue13376] readline: pre_input_hook not getting called

[Sam Cates]

New submission from Sam Cates <python.org at samcates.com>:

OS: Mac 10.7.2
Python: 2.7.1

Setting a pre input hook in readline has no effect.  This simple example illustrates the problem:

#!/usr/bin/python

import readline

def hook():
        readline.insert_text(' from pre_input_hook')
        readline.redisplay()

readline.set_pre_input_hook(hook)

while True:
        line = raw_input('Prompt ("stop" to quit): ')
        if line == 'stop':
                break
        print 'ENTERED: "%s"' % line


The hook never gets called, thus "from pre_input_hook" is never displayed.
