Jython already have some support for integration of a readline library.

  http://www.bablokb.de/java/readline.html

In the CVS version the ReadlineConsole class is already included with
the distribution (this include the entire "Support for JPython" section
which is no longer needed with the current CVS version of Jython). So in
the next release the readline support can be installed by setting the
registry option

  python.console=org.python.util.ReadlineConsole

and installing Bablok's java binding to readline. I don't yet know how
this java binding is compiled or installed (I don't use *nix myself) but
I hope someone else will contribute a description.

I expect the readline support to be streamlined and improved during the
2.1 release cycle.
