 === How do I get readline support for DarwinPort's Python? ===
 
-For python24, install the py-readline port!
+If you're using python24, install the py-readline port. If you're using python25, install py25-readline. Depending on your setup, you may need to create a file called ~/.pythonrc.py with the following in it:
+{{{
+import readline
+}}}
+
+=== Why can't I `import foo` in Python 2.5? ===
+
+A number of "standard python modules" are built separately from the python25 port, including:
+ * zlib
+ * _hashlib
+ * _ssl
+ * _bsddb
+ * _sqlite3
+ * _tkinter
+ * bz2
+ * gdbm
+ * readline
+ * _curses
+ * _curses_panel
+
+Some of the modules are available as separate py25-xxx ports, for example, py25-hashlib. For further information about readline support in python25, see the above FAQ question.
