Error on starting rfshell - ImportError: No module named readline about robotframework-debuglibrary HOT 5 CLOSED

You can install clone of readline with:

pip install pyreadline

to get the shell working on Windows

Maybe this could be a dependency for debuglibrary?

Sorry for the delayed reply. I believe this have been fixed in 2d76e5e, so I will close the issue, but feel free to reopen if you still have problem.

What do you think of adding pyreadline as a dependency for debuglibrary? that would work on all platforms then.

I dont know much about readline and pyreadline either but I remember that installing readline on Windows did not work

[PYTHON_27] λ pip install readline
Collecting readline

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-16firx\readline\

If you are sure that 'pyreadline' will work cross-platform then I think it's a better choice than 'readline'.

@Tattoo, @Tset-Noitamotua I'm not familiar with pyreadline, but it looks like a good option for windows user. I do not have a windows environment, I would love if anyone can contribute and test about the pyreadline support.
