[issue11496] test_readline fails when readline was installed after running configure (and was not re-run)

[R. David Murray]

Hmm.  It seems to me that in this case the test *should* fail, since it indicates a broken Python installation.  How about instead catching the error in the test and calling self.fail with the error and an additional message about making sure configure has been run?
