pythonbrew does its own funky things above and beyond standard OS X Python installs. Further, the PyPI readline distribution (which substitutes GNU readline for the OS X default BSD editline library) does its own funky things. I don't use either so I'm copping out here and not going to try to debug what's going wrong when you try to use them together. You *might* be better off just manually building and installing GNU readline in /usr/local and then use pythonbrew to rebuild Python 3.3 (3.3.1 was just released, BTW). Otherwise, you could search the pythonbrew issue list and open an issue there, if necessary. Or use a python.org 3.3 along with PyPI readline. Or install ipython3.3, Python 3.3, and GNU readline from MacPorts or Homebrew. https://github.com/utahta/pythonbrew/issues -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
