There are definitely serious issues with readline on OS X 10.4. I've hit them too but haven't had time to post about it yet. I'm far from an expert on them (Bob, Jack and others can definitely speak with more knowledge on this) but my understanding is that the default readline that comes with Tiger is not sufficient to build the Python extension library. However, I use DarwinPorts and IWBNI Python's build process could search /opt/local for the necessary readline support, using that if found. I know that DP's Python 2.4.2 build does provide readline, so that should definitely work. I've glanced at the setup.py file, but haven't had the time to dig in in enough detail to actually fix and commit. (There was something else that bugged me about the OS X 10.4 Python from-source build but now I can't remember.) -Barry
