Some platforms have rl_completion_append_character but not rl_completion_suppress_append.

fixed indention to tabs
use Py_RETURN_NONE macro
added more error checks to on_completion_display_matches_hook
open question: Does PyList_SetItem(l, i, o) steal a reference to o in the case of an error?
if an input hook has been defined. Patch by Richard Boulton.
This select() code is only executed with readline 2.1, or if
READLINE_CALLBACKS is defined.
Backport candidate for 2.5, 2.4, probably earlier versions too.
because (essentially) I didn't realise that PY_BEGIN/END_ALLOW_THREADS
actually expanded to nothing under a no-threads build, so if you somehow
NULLed out the threadstate (e.g. by calling PyThread_SaveThread) it would
stay NULLed when you return to Python. Argh!
Backport candidate.
[ 1166660 ] The readline module can cause python to segfault
It seems to me that the code I'm rewriting here attempted to call any
user-supplied hook functions using the thread state of the thread that
called the hook-setting function, as opposed to that of the thread
that is currently executing. This doesn't work, in general.
Fix this by using the PyGILState API (It wouldn't be that hard to
define a dummy version of said API when #ifndef WITH_THREAD, would
it?).
Also, check the conversion to integer of the return value of a hook
function for errors (this problem was mentioned in the ipython bug
report linked to in the above bug).
[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads
although the changes do not correspond exactly to any patch attached to
that report.
Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.
A different interface to readline is used.
The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.
These changes are all a bit scary! Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.
METH_NOARGS functions are still called with two arguments, one NULL,
so put that back into the function definitions (I didn't know this
until recently).
Make get_history_length() METH_NOARGS.
Check for readline 2.2 features. This should make it possible to
compile readline.c again with GNU readline versions 2.0 or 2.1; this
ability was removed in readline.c rev. 2.49. Apparently the older
versions are still in widespread deployment on older Solaris
installations. With an older readline, completion behavior is subtly
different (a space is always added).
readline in all python versions is configured
to append a 'space' character for a successful
completion. But for almost all python expressions
'space' is not wanted (see coding conventions PEP 8).
For example if you have a function 'longfunction'
and you type 'longf<TAB>' you get 'longfunction '
as a completion. note the unwanted space at the
end.
The patch fixes this behaviour by setting readline's
append_character to '\0' which means don't append
anything. This doesn't work with readline < 2.1
(AFAIK nowadays readline2.2 is in good use).
An alternative approach would be to make the
append_character
accessable from python so that modules like
the rlcompleter.py can set it to '\0'.
[Ed.: I think expecting readline >= 2.2 is fine. If a completer wants
another character they can append that to the keyword in the list.]
