Hi Steven, Yep am interested. been looking to get back into C development for sometime now. Though, don't hold your breath, as the last time i wrote any C code was 10 years ago and i have no experience with the cpython code base.

Will look into it over the weekend. So far i read up the issue and understood the requirement. Next steps for me to do: 1. to figure out the readline library bindings 2. Find the source code in cpython. My first suspicion is that it should be in the Python/ folder.

Any suggestions welcome

Over on python-ideas, a question about readline was raised and, I think, resolved. But while investigating the question, it became obvious to me that the ability to inspect the current readline bindings from Python was both useful and important.

I wrote: I don't believe that there is any direct mechanism for querying the current readline bindings in Python,

But it was requested some time ago: http://bugs.python.org/**issue8492<http://bugs.python.org/issue8492> Is there anyone willing and able to give this issue some attention please?
