Hi, I'm currently developping an application which runs sub interpreters in threads (one sub interpreter per thread). When I try to use readline completion in these sub interpreters it fails because it's not possible to import the "keyword" module (PyEval_GetRestricted() returns true). I think it is due to the fact that readline's on_completion() use PyGILState_Ensure(). It should be possible to use PyEval_RestoreThread with _PyOS_ReadlineTState instead.
