* bpo-13631: Fix the order of initialization for readline libedit on macOS. ↵Zvezdan Petkovic2018-05-171-7/+15
| | | | | | (GH-6915) The editline emulation needs to be initialized *after* the name is defined. This fixes the long open issue.
* bpo-31537: Update readline documentation example. (GH-3925)Brad Smith2017-10-101-2/+2
| | | Change the code example from using `get_history_length` to `get_current_history_length`.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Group functions into six new subsections * Document the underlying Readline function or variable accessed * get_history_length() returns the history file limit * clear_history() is conditionally compiled in * Clarify zero and one bases for history item indexes * parse_and_bind() uses its argument directly as an init line * Change "command line" to "line buffer" for consistency * read_init_file() also executes the file * read_history_file() replaces the previous history * write_history_file() overwrites any existing file * Differentiate history file lines from history list items, which could be multi-line * Add more information about completion, also addressing Issue #10796 * libedit (Editline) may be used on any platform; detection is OS X specific
