Regression test test_site failed on current trunk

[Andy]

Hi,

I checked out the python trunk (curently 2.7a0), compiled it on my
linux machine and run the regression test suit. Below is the output of
the failed part:

test_site
[14871 refs]
test test_site failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/mybook/storage/python_lnx/Lib/test/test_site.py", line 105,
in test_s_option
self.assertEqual(rc, 1)
AssertionError: 0 != 1

Is this something serious.

I compiled python with:
../configure --prefix=/dev/null --with-pydebug
make -s

Further I've got problems with moving the cursor when I started python
(2.7a0). There are only esc sequences displayed. My Local installation
(2.5.2) works fine.

I'd say any test failure without an obvious explanation is serious
enough to report as a bug. See http://bugs.python.org/

I compiled python with:
./configure --prefix=/dev/null --with-pydebug
make -s

Do you mean you can't get previous lines in your Python command history
to show up? This sounds as though you may not have built the readline
support in to your experimental build. I can't remember exactly what the
deal is, but I know that readline is GPL licensed, so it may not come as
part of the standard distribution.

Thanks for your reply.
I just want to move left and right with the cursor keys.
Thats it.
I installed libreadline5-dev and rerun ./configure and make
....now it works.
