Colorama conflicts with PyReadline on Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Python 27 64 bit from python.org.
2. Install colorama 0.2.7 from PyPI.
3. Install pyreadline 2.0 from PyPI.
4. Start python prompt
5. Import colorama

Importing colorama generates the following error over and over.  I posted this 
error to the Pyreadline devs as well. 

ArgumentError: argument 2: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: expected LP_CONSOLE_SC
REEN_BUFFER_INFO instance instead of pointer to CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO
Readline internal error

Thanks for the report. I'm merging this with another similar sounding issue.
