Brett,

IMO, your backtrace only implies that readline module was built 
believing it has libedit (i.e., include files were system ones from 
/usr/include).

However, the following scenario is possible.  Some packaging tools 
choose to divide library packages into a runtime part and a development 
part.  If you had a copy of readline that was a runtime part only, it 
would have /usr/local/lib/* files but not /usr/local/include/* files 
(development part would have them).

Because of the way setup.py stashes /usr/local/lib first in the path, 
the build could have used system /usr/include/* file and linked to your 
local copy of readline library.

This is just a wild guess of course.

That's why I was interested in the output of otool command on your build 
of readline module.  That would tell us what it was linked to.
