@ -6,8 +6,8 @@ Interactive Input Editing and History Substitution
Some versions of the Python interpreter support editing of the current input
line and history substitution, similar to facilities found in the Korn shell and
the GNU Bash shell. This is implemented using the *GNU Readline* library, which
supports Emacs-style and vi-style editing. This library has its own
the GNU Bash shell. This is implemented using the `GNU Readline`_ library,
which supports Emacs-style and vi-style editing. This library has its own
documentation which I won't duplicate here; however, the basics are easily
explained. The interactive editing and history described here are optionally
available in the Unix and Cygwin versions of the interpreter.

Do we mention IPython? DUBOIS
One alternative enhanced interactive interpreter that has been around for quite
some time is `IPython`_, which features tab completion, object exploration and
advanced history management. It can also be thoroughly customized and embedded
into other applications. Another similar enhanced interactive environment is
