Help with python shell

[cbmeeks]

I just upgraded my Python install up to version 2.5.1 (from 2.4.x)
using source code and compiling.

Everything went fine until I enter the command line mode and press any
arrow keys.

When I press UP arrow, I was getting my previous command as always but
now I get: ^[[A

What can I do to fix this??

Thanks!

Compiling with readline support? I guess that's missing.

I tried ./configure --enable-readline but that didn't do the trick.
ARG!! This is annoying.

You don't just need to enable it - the readline lib needs to be
installed, including the possible devel-package (If you are under linux)
for the headers.

That worked!

I had to install readline-devel and rebuild with --enable-readline

Thanks!!!!!
