python27 install failure on FreeBSD 11 RELEASE

[David Munroe]

A bit of searching led me to 
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206911 which indicated 
there is a readline port/package which needs to be installed. I installed 
that port and recompiled python27, all seems to work well now. Surprised 
it didn't install readline when I initiated the python27 port install 
though.

Thanks :)
