Import readline module to enable proper arrow key navigation and command history browsing in interactive mode. Without readline, arrow keys produce escape sequences (^[[A, ^[[B, etc.) instead of expected behavior. The import is wrapped in try/except for Windows compatibility where readline may not be available by default. Fixes zai-org#223
