Using Python Shell in Vi Mode on Windows

Question

I know that you can use the Python shell in Vi mode on Unix-like operating systems. For example, I have this line in mine ~/.inputrc:

set editing-mode vi

This allows me to use Vi style editing inside the Python shell.

But can this be done if you use Python in a Windows XP window? I am using pre-built Python for Windows, downloaded directly from python.org.

I assume that the Windows version does not use the GNU Readline library, but I would be happy to be mistaken. :)

pyreadlineconfig.ini PYTHONSTARTUPFILE PyReadline.
