python2.3 missing a key lib

[Scott Ransom <sransom@cv.nrao.edu>]

Hello All,

In the 3.4 archive python2.3 is missing a key library (readline.so):

uller:~$ dpkg -l python2.3
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:

uller:~$ python
Python 2.3.4 (#2, Dec  9 2004, 18:54:17)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import readline
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named readline

Note that the module
/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/readline.so

_is_ there in the i386 version of the package.

Should this be listed as a bug in the python2.3 package itself?

Scott

PS:  Thanks for all of your hard work!  Things are working amazingly well!
