readline on mac / python mac, python
This page pointed out a bizarre but perfect way of fixing readline on mac. Apparently the GNU license doesn’t play nice for Apple so it doesn’t work by default. I did this: 
sudo easy_install ipython
sudo easy_install -f http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/ readline
And suddenly readline worked in ipython on mac.
