{"library":"readline","type":"library","category":null,"description":"The `readline` PyPI package (version 6.2.4.2) is a third-party distribution that aims to provide the functionality of the standard Python `readline` module, statically linked against the GNU readline library. It was primarily created for environments where the built-in `readline` module (part of the Python standard library) was unavailable or broken, particularly on older Python versions. It explicitly requires Python < 3.4 and is considered abandoned for modern Python versions. The standard `readline` module is built into CPython on Unix-like systems and typically does not require `pip install`.","language":"en","status":"abandoned","version":"6.2.4.2","tags":["cli","interactive","shell","history","completion"],"last_verified":"Wed May 27","install":[{"cmd":"pip install readline","imports":["import readline"]}],"homepage":null,"github":null,"docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":null,"openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"3.10–3.9","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/readline/compatibility"}}
