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.
