In the trunk version on launchpad I just implemented the possibility to 
bind your own functions.

Add this example to your pyreadlineconfig.ini

def indent(self, e):
     self.insert_text("    ")
def dedent(self, e):
     self.backward_delete_char(e)
     self.backward_delete_char(e)
     self.backward_delete_char(e)
     self.backward_delete_char(e)
bind_key("Control-tab", indent)
bind_key("Control-Shift-tab", dedent)

You can get the trunk version using bzr branch lp:pyreadline
