5 | | -PyReadline: a ctypes-based readline for Windows |
6 | | ------------------------------------------------ |
7 | | -pyreadline is based on UNC readline by Gary Bishop and its development is now |
8 | | -led by Jörgen Stenarson. The following new features have been added over the |
9 | | -original UNC readline: |
| 5 | +PyReadline is a Python module providing a readline API on Windows, using ctypes. |

|
11 | | - * Support for international characters (if you have the correct codepage active) |
12 | | - * Copy and paste using the clipboard |
13 | | - * Smart paste for convenient use with ipython. Converting tab separated data |
14 | | - to python list or numpy array. Converting file paths to use / and escaping |
15 | | - any spaces using \ . |
16 | | - * Pasting of multiline code removing empty lines |
17 | | - * System bell is disabled by default, can be activated in config file. |
18 | | - |
19 | | -Note: UNC readline is not being developed further by Gary, and PyReadline can |
20 | | -be considered the continuation of that project. This was done in full agreement |
21 | | -with Gary, given his current development priorities. |

34 | | -Status and development |
35 | | ----------------------- |
36 | | -The current stable release is 1.7. |
37 | | - |
38 | | -Development is hosted at `github |
39 | | -<https://github.com/pyreadline/pyreadline>`_. The `issue tracker |
40 | | -<https://github.com/pyreadline/pyreadline/issues>`_ is hosted there as well. |
| 7 | +IPython previously used PyReadline to run on Windows, but moved away from it for |
| 8 | +IPython 5.0. PyReadline is not actively developed at the moment (early 2017), |
| 9 | +but you can still find it `on PyPI <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyreadline>`_ |
| 10 | +and `on GitHub <https://github.com/pyreadline/pyreadline>`_. |
