STINNER Victor added the comment:

The Python readline is a thin wrapper on top of the UNIX readline library.

You need a port of the readline library to Windows. There are some ports, but I 
don't think that Python can take the responsability to endorse them, ports seem 
unofficial.

Example: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/readline.htm -- last release 
8 years ago...

MinGW & Cygwin have readline on Windows, but it's a different tool chain (GCC) 
than the current toolchain used by Python on Windows (Visual Studio).
