A Python module that provides `GNU Readline`_-like line editing functions (the default Emacs-style ones). If you just want to use Readline, use the readline_ package in the standard library--but this package allows access to those capabilties in settings outside of a standard CLI.

Currently, all stateless Readline commands are implemented. This means that yanking and history are not supported.

This module is especially well-suited to interfacing with Urwid_ due to a shared syntax for describing key inputs.
