[Pythonmac-SIG] Python 2.3 on OS X with readline

[Mark Rowe]

Hi,

I make a habit of running a CVS version of Python for testing purposes. 
  Recently I noticed that readline support has stopped functioning in my 
compiled versions.  A little digging has shown that the readline module 
is being compiled and installed, and that the interpreter is importing 
it on startup.  The problem appears to be that the readline module 
(Modules/readline.c) is using its own local copy of the 
PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer variable instead of the one defined in 
Parser/myreadline.c .  I am unsure what has caused this to happen.

Any advice on solving this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark Rowe
