>Description:
Python has nice support for line-editing, using readline pkg.
This is very handy in inetractive mode.
As this is nice feature, but not essential, it's nice to have
it available, but certainly not as a part of out "standard"
Python pkg. It should be optional package.
>How-To-Repeat:
start python and be unable to do any line-editing
>Fix:
py-readline package is at:
