No, I really don't. The only time I ever interact with the Python
REPL is in a GNU Emacs shell buffer (or, rarely, an Emacs pdb buffer),
which does the dance for me. I

Just curious...
Is there really a need for the readline library? On Mac, I always run
Python shells in either (1) Terminal, or (2) xterm, or (3) an Emacs
shell buffer. All of them have readline capability built in. I never
need Python to have readline capability. What's the use case here?

Thanks! I didn't know it was that easy.

Got it, ran sudo python setup.py install, seemed to go OK. Ran
minimaltest and it could not find PythonCard module. I have a path to
the PythonCard
Just wanted to report that patching readline 5.1 and recompiling
python from source did fix the original problem I had with IPython.
