Noticed this while writing a non-trivial completion function for readline.set_completer. When an exception is thrown in the completion function readline doesnt do anything, squashes the error, this should not be the case. |

I disagree that it "should not be the case", I think Python's current behaviour is correct. Although it makes debugging completer functions harder, it would not be good for a bug in the completer to raise an exception and break line editing. This is one case where errors should be silenced. Instead, my completion functions log errors to a file, and I watch the log file in another terminal window. |

Ah yeah you're correct, on second thought I think an addition to the readline documentation is warranted, not a code change. |

Decided to update the documentation instead |
