Heh -- I completely forgot I'd sent it.... a lot has happened in the 
past few weeks.

The instructions for readline involve dynamically linking against 
Apple's Readline.framework.   Which may not be there any longer (it was 
in one dev tool, but removed later or something).

I just went through this on the plane today (I'm in CA for WWDC next 
week).

Instead, I would recommend:

- download the readline 4.3 source

- install by:

./configure --disable-dynamic --enable-static
sudo make install

- grab the readline package I mentioned before

- edit setup.py;  remove all references to Frameworks.   Add 
"-lreadline", "-lhistory", "-ltermcap" to the extra_link_args (after 
removing the -framework and -F for Readline.framework).

- sudo python setup.py install

End result should be a readline module that is statically linked 
against the readline library and will work against any OS X 10.2 
system, regardless of the state of the readline framework.
