| The documentation of the readline module refers to readline initialization files, but does not give any information about their format or the available commands. I realize that this is a standard part of environments that support readline, not anything specific to Python, but as long as the module documentations mentions the init file it should give a link to documentation about it. |

I would add a sentence to the first paragraph of the readline doc: Readline keybindings may be configured via an initialization file, typically .inputrc in your home directory; see http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/readline.html#SEC9 (or http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Readline-Init-File.html) for information about the format and allowable constructs of that file and the capabilities of the readline library in general. I did a few quick tests and convinced myself that the module's C code's call to rl_initialize actually reads .inputrc (or the value of the environment variable INPUTRC if that is set). > > ---------- > assignee: georg.brandl -> docs@python > nosy: +docs@python, terry.reedy > versions: -Python 2.6 > > _______________________________________ > Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> > <http://bugs.python.org/issue8491> > _______________________________________ |

| Ping. I just noticed that this is still unresolved in the Python 3.3 docs. This should be closed, with or without my suggested change. |

| Thanks for the patch. I left a couple review comments. Also, this new paragraph should be outside the “Note” box, which is specifically about libedit aka Editline, not Gnu Readline. |
