I have managed to build Python with libedit instead of readline, but it was a custom build. If your assumption is correct, then I'm anxiously waiting for having the default Python executable in Ubuntu, for example, being licensed under

You are correct that, on Tcl level, everything _is_ (behaves like) a string. But there have been too many discussions about how horrible this is for performance, that it is always worth mentioning the fact that internally this simplistic vi
