C-level changes are still required, but just to expose the existing
functions in the GNU history library. After responding to Fred's note, I
realized that what I'm doing in rlcompleter.py:
import os
histfile = os.getenv("PYTHONHISTORY")
if histfile is not None:
try:
readline.read_history_file(histfile)
except IOError:
pass
import atexit
atexit.register(readline.write_history_file, histfile)
del os, histfile
could just as easily be done in ~/.pythonrc. Maybe I should retract the
rlcompleter mods and just give something like
import os
histfile = os.path.join(os.environ["HOME"], ".python_history")
try:
readline.read_history_file(histfile)
except IOError:
pass
import atexit
atexit.register(readline.write_history_file, histfile)
del os, histfile
as an example in a yet-to-be-written libreadline.tex.
