When Python is linked with GNU readline 4.2, using
raw_input() without a prompt causes the most recent
non-empty prompt to be used. GNU readline 4.1 and
before don't have this behavior. I don't want it,  but
I don't know how to disable it (I am passing an empty
string for the prompt to readline()).

I can't reproduce this.

(looking at old open readline bugs -- me?)

Me neither, but then I've got GNU readline 4.3 here, not
4.2, and I'm to lazy to try to reproduce it.

Assuming that you actually tested with 4.2, just close it.

Oops, I have readline 4.3 too.

Still, I'm going to close this as out of date/3rd party.
