You need to supply your own copy of GNU readline; Apple does not ship 
it.  You can use one from MacPorts or other 3rd-party distributor.  
Python 2.7 and 3.2 have a feature to use the readline compatibility 
interface of BSD editline (libedit) which Apple does ship but that 
feature was not backported to Python 3.1.  The python.org 3.1.x 
installers are built with GNU readline (and there is one for 3.1.4rc1).
