I have ported the work done by martin.panter to latest master.

  • Include <editline/readline.h> if Editline is configured
  • Redefine HAVE_LIBREADLINE to also indicate if -ledit is used
  • New flag WITH_EDITLINE to differentiate between -lreadline and -ledit
  • Remove conditional completion_matches() declarations; use the declaration
    from the library rather than trying to guess it

Resolves #13501

Hello, and thanks for your contribution!

I'm a bot set up to make sure that the project can legally accept your contribution by verifying you have signed the PSF contributor agreement (CLA).

Unfortunately we couldn't find an account corresponding to your GitHub username on bugs.python.org (b.p.o) to verify you have signed the CLA (this might be simply due to a missing "GitHub Name" entry in your b.p.o account settings). This is necessary for legal reasons before we can look at your contribution. Please follow the steps outlined in the CPython devguide to rectify this issue.

You can check yourself to see if the CLA has been received.

Thanks again for your contribution, we look forward to reviewing it!

In contrast to macOS, libedit is available as its own include file and
library on Linux systems to prevent file name clashes. So if both
libraries are available on the system, readline is currently chosen by
default; and if only libedit is available, it is not found at all. This
patch adds a way to link against libedit by adding the following
arguments to configure:

  --with-readline           link against libreadline (the default)
  --with-readline=editline  link against libeditline
  --with-readline=no        disable building the readline module
  --without-readline        (same)

The runtime detection of libedit vs. readline was already done in commit
7105319 (2019-12-04, serge-sans-paille: "bpo-38634: Allow
non-apple build to cope with libedit (pythonGH-16986)").
