#1 readline and the [ character on belgium keyboard.

[Vivian De Smedt]

Gary,

Thank you very much for you readline module. I
prety sure it will make my daily use of python even
more fun.

However using your module I had a small problem
and I write you to propose an improvement.

I use a belgium keyboard and with such keyboard it
seems imposible to type type the '[' charactere
when readline.py is loaded.
The sequence we are used (in belgium) to get the
character Control-Alt-^ seems unrecognised by
readline and we get a sound and no charactere
when we type it.
Unfortunately the '[' is quite important for all Python
user.

In order to fix that I add that lines:

# the '[' character on BE keyboards
self._bind_key('Control-Alt-^', self.self_insert)

at the end of the PyReadline.Readline.
emacs_editing_mode method.

and it seems to solve my problem.

Do you think that this fix could be merged in your
module ?

Thank you again for your module.
Regards,
Vivian.
