[Pythonmac-SIG] readline2.3b1 install fails on Python2.3rc1+8 using package manager

[Joshua Tompkins]

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, I'm still pretty new to Python (and very new to Python on the Mac).  I report it only because Jack said to report anything that might be out of the ordinary on the new build, and because I'm not sure if this is a bug or just something dumb that I'm doing wrong.

The readline2.3b1-binary module is on the Experimental modules list on the Python.org homepage.  When I try and install this module using the 2.3rc1+8 build, installation fails with the message:

"Failure linking new module: /sw/lib/libreadline.4.dylib: dyld: /Applications/MacPython-2.3/"

Isn't /sw where the fink install lives?  I don't have fink installed...

Is this error occuring because I'm trying to use a b1 module with the rc1 build?  Or do I need to install fink?  As I said, I'm new to all of this and I'm kind of wandering around in the dark.
