  Hey Mr. smartA#$ -- the mailman engine which just sent you this message
is written in python (though I am not sure about the age of the

  I'd consider the lack of readline in python/OSX a flaw of the OS 
packager: they should have manually enabled readline when compiling for 
OSX.
  Being platform independent, python doesn't have it enabled by default 
since some retarded OSes don't come with readline.
