But we can detect whether readline has rl_library_version during runtime, and #ifdef it ;) I think the readline version info is useful enough to warrant the extra #define and #ifdef... I can whip it up tonight, if the autoconf check is desired ;P
Actually, I'm not sure what difference the readline version makes -- why would you need it? Also, I'm not sure that the configure check is enough -- it's possible that readline lives in a non-standard place where configure can't find it but ppointed to by the Setup file. I think it's just not worth it. Please don't. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
