Optional package v2.6.5 lacks readline.so

[mmadia]

The optional package from  Haiku r35928 lacks readline.

to test:

~/Desktop> python 
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Mar 20 2010, 22:58:06) 
[GCC 2.95.3-haiku-090629] on haiku1
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>import readline
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named readline
>>> 

copying v2.6.4's common/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/readline.so into 2.6.5's directory seems to work -- at least no exceptions are raised upon importing readline.

I'll try rebuilding it with readline installed. This might then require creating a readline OptionalPackage? and making is a dependency for Python, but I don't think that's a problem.

Scott, I think this is the old ticket regarding readline for which you were searching:  http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/2514

Fixed with the Apr 25 build of python:

~> python
Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 25 2010, 07:32:48) 
[GCC 2.95.3-haiku-100420] on haiku1
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import readline
>>>
 

Need to build readline prior to building python for it to pick it up.
