Severity: normal

Hi.

Python 3.13's "revamped" REPL removed support for readline's vi editing
mode and thus also no longer respects settings in .inputrc. This is
supposed to be permanent, see:

    https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/118840

At least they added the option to set PYTHON_BASIC_REPL, which also gets
us rid of the colors if anyone cares. Very important, and much
appreciated, though oddly enough it's nowhere documented, in Debian
anyway. Wish I would've known about it months ago. Please put it on the
man page that already has a section for environment variables.

Regards,
Oliver

Followup-For: Bug #1095052

Just found out there is something about it in the NEWS file for
python3.13 but no real description as to what it is for. Still think
this should go into the man page, so I leave it open.

Regards,
Oliver
