     Parameters
     ----------
     mgr : an InputHookManager
 
     app : Qt Application, optional.
         Running application to use.  If not given, we probe Qt for an
         existing application object, and create a new one if none is found.
 
     Returns
     -------
     A pair consisting of a Qt Application (either the one given or the
     one found or created) and a inputhook.
 
     Notes
     -----
     We use a custom input hook instead of PyQt4's default one, as it
     interacts better with the readline packages (issue #481).
 
     The inputhook function works in tandem with a 'pre_prompt_hook'
     which automatically restores the hook as an inputhook in case the
     latter has been temporarily disabled after having intercepted a
     KeyboardInterrupt.
