# rev 0: 2013-10-22
#
# Disables the readline module of python.org pythons on OS X 10.9 Mavericks
# if they crash when used interactively.  Fixes for this problem should
# be available in the python.org 2.7.6, 3.3.3 and 3.4.0 releases.
#
# This patcher uses the "sudo" command to ensure the necessary privileges
# to rename and disable Python's readline.so.  On most systems, you will need
# to run this script from an administrator account.
#
# To use:
#   1. Download this file from the python.org tracker.
#   2. In a terminal session shell, run:
#        sh /path/to/patch_idle_issue_18458.sh
#      replacing "/path/to" with the folder where the file was downloaded,
#      for example, "sh ~/Downloads/patch_idle_issue_18458.sh"
#   3. If prompted for a password, enter your password.
#
# See http://bugs.python.org/issue18458 for more details and latest version.
