Readline support for Python for Mac

Publisher's Description

From bbum:

The python included with OS X does not include the readline module (readline is GPL'd -- nothing in the core operating system can be GPL'd because the GPL is an encumbered license -- it ain't freeware if it is GPL).

Requires OS X 10.3.

Drop readline.so into /Library/Python/2.3/ or visit the "product page" for detailed instructions (and source).

What's new in this version: Built for 10.3.

Includes statically linked libreadline in the readline module itself; no need to pre-install readline!
