Not quite, you've removed the bit where the build process tries to  
compile the readline extension.

The easiest way to build a 4-way universal binary with readline  
support is to use my release script:

   cd $PYTHONSRC/Mac/BuildScript
   $ ./build-installer.py --dep-target=10.5 --universal-args=all

This should work with Python 2.6.2 and later (it definitely works with  
the current version of the 2.6 branch in subversion, as well as the  
trunk and 3.x branch)
