[Tutor] Add readline capabilities to a Python build 2.6 on Ubuntu

[Eric Dorsey]

Greetings Tutor:
I've managed to install Python 2.6 on my Ubuntu VM from source, however, it
looks as though I missed something important along the way. My 2.6
interpreter does not have readline support (example: I cant hit up arrow to
repeat the last command) Is there a way to add this functionality now?

Or alternative, if I just rebuild it, does anyone know the flag or verbage
to get readline support in?
