Is this project alive? this seems like a trivial fix for a problem causing hard errors for people running with Python 3.9.

I think a lot of projects will fail and be unable to updated to py39 until this is accepted and published

It doesn't look like this project has been updated since 2015, so it seems likely it has been abandoned. It's probably best to look for alternatives.

IPython ... moved away from it for IPython 5.0. PyReadline is not actively developed at the moment (early 2017),

From IPython release notes, they were able to drop the dependency by switching to prompt_toolkit.

Dear all,

I hope pyreadline does not disappear because I do a lot of manual experiments on REPL and it comes super handy.

The error

Lately, I've been implementing structured testing in my company and — sure enough — pytest 6.2.5 was issuing this:

pyreadline\py3k_compat.py:8: DeprecationWarning: Using or importing the ABCs from 'collections' instead of from 'collections.abc' is deprecated since Python 3.3, and in 3.10 it will stop working
    return isinstance(x, collections.Callable)

The solution

I went to said file and edited line 8 into:

    def callable(x):
        return isinstance(x, collections.abc.Callable)

(Here, lines 7 and 8 are reproduced for context).

Question

Is this project really abandoned? Because this is a useful library and the fix is so tiny that it's really worth the 5 seconds.
