Summary (which was requested by others):

My alternative readline provides command history and inline editing in 
Python under Win32.  Completion is not supported, but certainly not
impossible to implement.

This software is in two parts: _rlsetup, a C extension based heavily on
code by Fredrik Lundh (from his _wincon module).  _rlsetup is covered by
the effbot's copyright and is under BSD-style license from Secret Labs.

The second part is a pure Python readline.py module, which implements the
line input, editing, and history functionality.  The license is BSD-style
under my copyright.

Binaries are only included for 2.0; I don't yet have a 2.1 install to
build against.  The code should also build cleanly for 1.5.2.
