>Description:
The Python port fails to build because of a compilation error in the
file  python/work/Python-2.0/Modules/readline.c
The message from the compilation is
 
./readline.c:31: conflicting types for `rl_read_init_file'
/usr/include/readline/readline.h:304: previous declaration of `rl_read_init_file'
./readline.c:32: conflicting types for `rl_insert_text'
/usr/include/readline/readline.h:356: previous declaratio

This seems to be a result of the recent import of the newest versions readline.


>How-To-Repeat:
Build the python port in FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT from sources after April 12.

>Fix:
The fix is to remove the offending definitions from the readline.c

I am not sure what the patch should look like. It appears to need to
be conditionalized based on the version of readline in use.
FreeBSD 4.3 (and earlier) use a version of readline which does not 
define these functions.
