Request for help with libedit

[Marcus Calhoun-Lopez]

A recent update to libedit is causing issues with Python [1].
I have tracked down the upstream changes that caused the problems and reverted them in a pull request [2].
I will attempt to reach out to the upstream developers, but I cannot quite tell if upstream is a project [3] or an operating system [4].

Would anyone more knowledgeable than I about libedit like to comment before I merge the pull request?
If at all possible, I would like to not carry these patches around forever.

Thanks,
Marcus
