If solaris doesn't have a readline library, you might try to compile gnu
readline, and recompile python (also a chance to get the current version
2.5)

pyreadline is a windows-only thing.  Since readline is a standard module on
most unix systems and linux, there was no need to implement pyreadline for
these systems.  It would have been difficult anyway, since the windows
console is completely different to unix consoles (which are fairly
compatible to each other, a outcome of POSIX efforts).
