> Is this related to the BSD editline library (libedit), or is the actual Gnu Readline library being used? Apparently you can check for "libedit" in readline.__doc__ to tell the difference.


Great suggestion.  So on my machine, macports version (no bug) is built against readline; manual build from source -- libedit.

So apparently, this is a libedit thing.
