s Apparently the readline library in MacOSX isn't really readline. s It's a renamed libedit. Not having encountered this deception s before, Python's build procedure doesn't know to test the capability s of readline. I suggest you just comment out the readline checks in s setup.py. Piet libedit (editline) is a different library with a similar function Piet as readline, but not compatible with it. It has a BSD license. It Piet is often used instead of readline for non-GPL software. True. I believe it was written by Rich Salz several years ago. Python used to work with it, but eventually started using some readline functionality which libedit doesn't provide. I don't recall what that is.

Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Mac Intel Python status?
Kent What's the current status of any semi-official build of Python on Kent Intel? We actually need to build it without readline support, Kent haven't been able to figure out how (configure --without-readline Kent doesn't seem to do it). It builds if we download Gnu readline and Kent install it, but without that the build fails. Apparently the readline library in MacOSX isn't really readline. It's a renamed libedit.
