Having trouble with python readline

[Scott Webster]

So, if I add the readline directory to my sys.path then it works:

i.e. sys.path.append("/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/readline")

I also notice that there is this file:
/opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/readline_path.py which seems to
contain code to add that directory to the sys.path if you have a
lib-dynload path already defined in the sys.path list.

However, it is looking for a path at /opt/local/lib/... etc.  My sys.path
goes through a /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/... symlink.

So, if this readline_path.py file were actually being executed at some
useful time, it wouldn't work because the string it has does not match my
sys.path.

I would have just thought that installing py25-readline would add the
correct readline directory to the sys.path for python.
