usage fails on fedora

Edit: Resolved.

when installing using chia’s guide, which has you compile python, first install readline-devel then reinstall chia starting from the compiling commands.

$ plotman config generate
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'readline'`

$ pip install readline

looked up readline

WARNING: THIS PACKAGE IS DEPRECATED! It has been renamed to GNUREADLINE to resolve a name clash with the standard library module. The new PyPI page is here.

as suggested here i tried reinstall of python + chia + plotman, same errors.

python --version
Python 3.7.7

In my case, on CentOS 8.3, with chia also installed per instructions, I just had to install readline-devel (dnf install readline-devel) then recompile Python 3.7.7 (no manual changes) and plotman generates a config successfully afterward.

Confirmed solution above on CentOS7. Install readline-devel and then rebuild Python 3.7.
