There are definitely serious issues with readline on OS X 10.4.  I've
hit them too but haven't had time to post about it yet.  I'm far from an
expert on them (Bob, Jack and others can definitely speak with more
knowledge on this) but my understanding is that the default readline
that comes with Tiger is not sufficient to build the Python extension
library.

However, I use DarwinPorts and IWBNI Python's build process could
search /opt/local for the necessary readline support, using that if
found.  I know that DP's Python 2.4.2 build does provide readline, so
that should definitely work.  I've glanced at the setup.py file, but
haven't had the time to dig in in enough detail to actually fix and
commit.

(There was something else that bugged me about the OS X 10.4 Python
from-source build but now I can't remember.)
