I am trying to install readline for python 2.7.3 installed via homebrew. If I type

easy_install readline

I get

Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/readline/readline-6.2.2.tar.gz#md5=ad9d4a5a3af37d31daf36ea917b08c77

clang: error: no such file or directory: 'readline/libreadline.a'
clang: error: no such file or directory: 'readline/libhistory.a'

Any ideas about how I could fix this ?

Thanks
