Bug report

Bug description:

While testing python3 ptests (i.e. those contained in Lib/test/) in Yocto for 3.12.5, it was noted that test_write_read_limited_history() fails if Python was configured to use libedit/editline (default) instead of readline.

With readline they pass, but due to licensing differences the former is preferred for default use. Ideally, the tests should not fail in this condition, and at minimum should be skipped (if not able to make both cases pass). We'll disable this test for now but would like to enable this test in the future if possible.
