 just upgraded to Sierra 10.12 so uninstalled everything and reinstalled
 what I actually use.

 when installing python36 it reports to install py36-readline if using it
 by the command line, but I've searched for py36-readline and it doesn't
 appear to exist...

 {{{
 --->  Activating python36 @3.6.0b1_0+universal

 To make this the default Python or Python 3 (i.e., the version run by the
 'python' or 'python3' commands), run one or both of:

     sudo port select --set python python36
     sudo port select --set python3 python36

Comment:

 Sometimes we wait until a stable version of a language is released before
 adding third-party modules for it. I know I do that for php. Maybe that's
 also the case for python. python36 is currently at version 3.6.0b1, which
 is beta, not stable.
