Hi to all,
I 'm writing a linux console app with sockets. It's basically a client
app that fires commands in a server.
For example:
$log user 55
$sessions list
$server list etc.
What i want is, after entering some commands, to press the up arrow
key and see the previous commands that i have executed.
Any hints? Any examples?

Look at the readline module.

ok that's fine, thanks.
I have also find a very helpful example in PyMoTW
http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/readline/index.html(Thanks
Doug!!!).
But if i want to run this in it's own separate thread, how could i do
that?
there is an
# Prompt the user for text
input_loop()

which is blocking?

You may find interesting to look at the source code for plac (http://
micheles.googlecode.com/hg/plac/doc/plac_adv.html). The readline
support (including command history and autocompletion) is implemented
in the ReadlineInput class (see http://code.google.com/p/micheles/source/browse/plac/plac_ext.py).
If you just want command history you can use rlwrap (http://
freshmeat.net/projects/rlwrap).
