GNU Readline for Python

gnureadline provides robust GNU Readline support for Python applications, particularly on platforms like macOS where the default `readline` module often links against `libedit` (NetBSD's Editline library), which is not fully GNU Readline compliant. It achieves this by bundling and statically linking the GNU Readline source code with Python's standard `readline` module. The library is actively maintained, with frequent updates to ensure compatibility with new Python versions and the underlying GNU Readline library; the current version is 8.3.3, released in January 2026.
