Yeah, I've found that I need to recreate my virtualenvs whenever Brew's
Python is upgraded. I get an error like "cannot read image". Since my
virtualenvs for trac development are always the same, I just wrote a script
to recreate the virtualenv, so it's no trouble now that I know what
behavior to expect.

That looks interesting. We could reorder the operations to prefer
pyreadline when installed:
try:
import pyreadline as rl
except ImportError:
try:
import readline as rl
except ImportError:
rl = None
