The fix for use of native editline (readline emulation) was done and is already implemented on the trunk (2.7).
Please see: http://bugs.python.org/issue6877
You can find the patch in that tracker issue or here:
http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=74970

It was marked for a backport to a future 2.6.5 release too.

AFAIK, it is already supported.
Perhaps you should specify the exact problems you have.
I believe that a more appropriate place for that would be pythonmac-sig mailing list, though.
