If anything, I think the readline documentation should have a note explaining 
the situation in Windows. The documentation of the cmd module already makes the 
readline dependency clear: 

    If the readline module is loaded, input will automatically inherit 
    bash-like history-list editing (e.g. Control-P scrolls back to the
    last command, Control-N forward to the next one, Control-F moves the 
    cursor to the right non-destructively, Control-B moves the cursor to 
    the left non-destructively, etc.).
