>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:
		http://www.ics.muni.cz/~dolecek/NetBSD/py-readline.tar.gz
