Merge pull request #937 from minrk/readline...
Merge pull request #937 from minrk/readline Add dirty trick for readline import on OSX to more aggressively detect the presence of libedit masquerading as true GNU readline. Also made the libedit warning extremely loud, so people don't miss it. See the original PR page for the gory details; short version: 1. remove lib-dynload from sys.path before trying to import readline the first time 2. after import, restore lib-dynload to its place in sys.path 3. if import failed without lib-dynload, try it one more time, to get the default module

""" Fun magic line editor for ipython
Use this to easily edit lists of strings gradually without crafting long
list comprehensions.
'l' is the magic variable name for every line (array element). Save the current
result (or more exactly, retrieve the last ipython computation result into
%led work area) by running '%led s'. Just run '%led' to show the current work
area data.
Example use:
[ipython]|25> setups = !ls *setup*.py
==
['eggsetup.py', 'setup.py', 'setup_bdist_egg.py']
[ipython]|26> setups
<26> ['eggsetup.py', 'setup.py', 'setup_bdist_egg.py']
[ipython]|27> %led s
Data set from last result (_)
<27> ['eggsetup.py', 'setup.py', 'setup_bdist_egg.py']
[ipython]|28> %led upper
cmd translated => l.upper()
<28> ['EGGSETUP.PY', 'SETUP.PY', 'SETUP_BDIST_EGG.PY']
[ipython]|29> %led
Magic line editor (for lists of strings)
current data is:
['eggsetup.py', 'setup.py', 'setup_bdist_egg.py']
[ipython]|30> %led upper
cmd translated => l.upper()
<30> ['EGGSETUP.PY', 'SETUP.PY', 'SETUP_BDIST_EGG.PY']
[ipython]|31> %led s
Data set from last result (_)
<31> ['EGGSETUP.PY', 'SETUP.PY', 'SETUP_BDIST_EGG.PY']
[ipython]|32> %led "n:" + l
<32> ['n:EGGSETUP.PY', 'n:SETUP.PY', 'n:SETUP_BDIST_EGG.PY']
[ipython]|33> %led s
Data set from last result (_)
<33> ['n:EGGSETUP.PY', 'n:SETUP.PY', 'n:SETUP_BDIST_EGG.PY']
[ipython]|34> %led l.
l.__add__ l.__gt__ l.__reduce_ex__ l.endswith l.join l.rstrip
