Ned Deily <nad at acm.org> added the comment:
Even if used a different file name, you still have to set up two different sets of directives.
The main drawback to the trivial suggestion is that it continues to pull in GNU readline, which is now GPLv3-licensed, into the python.org OS X installers. In general, we try to avoid shipping GPL-licensed software since it can complicate the allowable usages of the installed Python.
(Since I opened this one, I'm reassigning it to myself.)
