Oh too bad that updating did not work.  Terrible that these are so tied
to the version of python-prompt-toolkit.  Can you split those updates
out to separate patches, preceding the prompt-toolkit patch?  Then they
can be reverted and tested individually without having to revert the
whole thing in case there are problems.

Oh I see, makes sense.  The new patch is much clearer.  I will send a
separate reply with further comments.
