Description

Installing py36-gnureadline causes python3.6 to crash.

Without py36-gnureadline:

$ port installed py36-gnureadline
None of the specified ports are installed.
$ python3.6
Python 3.6.0 (default, Dec 28 2016, 22:59:42)

With py36-gnureadline:

$ port installed py36-gnureadline
The following ports are currently installed:
  py36-gnureadline @6.3.3_1 (active)
$ python3.6
Python 3.6.0 (default, Dec 28 2016, 22:59:42)

There is some discussion of this issue in #48807. A workaround is to install python36 +readline.
