Python does have a readline module, but it does not appear to be
installed on any of my three servers.  I don't know what the deal is.
Generally, if the module is in the docs, it comes installed when you do
a source install.  I do not know if you have to do something special
when you compile to get it.

Regardless, I don't have it and don't know how to get it.  And if I
don't have it, I would guess many other people don't have it.  I'd hate
to make configure require something that many people don't have.

Weird.  Any suggestions, anyone?
