| AFAICT, PyOS_InputHook() isn't described anywhere in the docs. Even the .h files don't contain comments explaining it. |

| The only mention I can find is in Misc/HISTORY: When the interpreter shell is invoked interactively, it attempts to import the readline module; when this fails, the default input mechanism is used. The hook variables are PyOS_InputHook and PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer. |

| A.B, I believe you have looked at other areas of missing C-API docs. What do you think of this one? Is it still missing? |

| Here's a proposed patch to the c-api manual that describes these two pointers. I put them in the 'very high-level API' section. Maybe they belong in the Operating System Utilities section instead, but I think they're intertwined with the interpreter loop and therefore belong in the 'very high-level' section. |

| I am not a C-api user, but the entries are pretty clear to me and seem ready to apply. The usage examples are a nice touch. OS Utilites is not where I would expect interpreter loop hooks, so I think the current location is better. |

| One question about the patch: how to give the prototype expected for the function? I currently have it as: char *(*PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer)(FILE *stdin, FILE *stdout, char *prompt) Would it be better with a trivial function name, as in: char *func(FILE *stdin, FILE *stdout, char *prompt) |

| Can one of you three answer Kuchling's question about formatting a data entry that consists of a function pointer with function signature? |
