The description of the readline module in the library
reference should mention that it alters the behavior of
the input() and raw_input() functions. Without this
change, it isn't obvious how to use readline to provide
a command line in applications.

The information requested *is* in the docs where
input() and raw_input() are described, but an
inexperienced python programmer, just learning his way
around the standard library, won't know that and may
conclude that the readline module exists only because
it's used for interactive python.

I've added a mention to the first paragraph of the module's
docs. Thanks for the suggestion!
