Thanks for the hint, Trent!  I guess I should have done that  
already. :-)

More precisely, to maybe save some other not-entirely-Mac-clueful  
folks like me time, if you have installed MacPython and then  
ActivePython, that's

$ cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
$ sudo cp MacPython2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/readline.so 2.4/lib/ 
python2.4/lib-dynload/

Works great so far.
