Comment(by charlie.clark@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 nad@…]:
 > You need to install the corresponding readline ports, i.e. py26-readline
 and/or py27-readline.  (Umlauted characters are in the BMP, so ucs2 is
 fine.)

 That does indeed solve the problem though I'm curious as to why the
 readline has to be installed additionally. Licensing issues?
