I installed gnureadline. I could not rename the readline.so file as the file moved to the /System/Library path in Mac High Sierra.
Python 3.6.5 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, Apr 26 2018, 08:42:37).
Is there anything else I should try?

Try installing gnureadline, as described in etc/PROBLEMS:
*** In Inferior Python mode, input is echoed and native completion doesn't work.
<https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=25753>
This happens when python uses a libedit based readline module, which
is the default on macOS. This can be worked around by installing a
GNU readline based module instead, for example, using setuptools
sudo easy_install gnureadline
And then rename the system's readline so that it won't be loaded:
cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
mv readline.so readline.so.bak
See <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/gnureadline> for more details on
installation.
