Win32 Python 2.0 Readline Module or Is python20.lib missing symbols?

[Jason Tishler]

Has anyone been successful building the Readline Module for Win32 Python
2.0?

I'm attempting to redo the 1.5.2 port by Paul Sokolovsky or Robert
Kern as described in

    http://www.is.lg.ua/~paul/devel/readline/pymodule.html

and

    http://starship.python.net/crew/kernr/binaries/Binaries.html

respectively.

After fiddle around, I seemed to have discovered that python20.lib is
missing the following symbols that were in python15.lib:

    PyExc_IOError
    PyExc_TypeError
    PyOS_InputHook
    PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer
    _Py_NoneStruct

This causes the Mingw link to fail when building readline.pyd with
undefined references to the above symbols.  I even rebuilt Python (using
MSVC 6.0) from CVS and the symbols are still missing from python20.lib.

Is the above a known issue?

Any pointers or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
