Another option is to download the source tarball for the matching
python and run the setup.py within that. All the optional modules in
python are built via a setup.py in the main source, so it should be
possible to run that independently of the main build.
(not tested):
$ cd Python-2.4.4
$ pytho

quite match the version of 2.4 that's packaged with OpenSolaris (2.4.4
- I know it's old but it's what we have)... but I'll hack away and see
how it goes.
So, it seems there are a few mild issues I have to take care of in gene
Do you have setup_tools installed? If so 'easy_install readline' will do.

module without completely rebuilding python?
Background: Solaris doesn't package readline by default. Well, it does
now (at least in the dev repositories), but their distribution of
python isn't built to include the readl
