From: Vincent Davis on 13 Jun 2010 19:19 I just installed 2.6 and 3.1 from current maintenance source on Mac OSx. When I am running as an interactive terminal session the up arrow does not scroll thought the history of the py commands I have entered I just get ^[[A. When I install from a compiled source it works fine. Whats the fix for this? Thanks Vincent

Let make sure I am clear. This is only an issue within the interactive python for the python dist I have built from source not other pythons or terminal in general. I look into the commands you suggested more but ESC-k and ESC-j don't sound very appealing to me.

Not sure if the problem still exists in Leopard/Snow Leopard. Google for "python mac readline" and you will find some stuff.

Compile and install GNU Readline, then type 'make' again in your Python source tree. It should now no longer report a missing 'readline' module. -irmen

It should now no longer report a missing 'readline' module. What exactly do you mean by "'make' again in your Python source tree."
