I'm running redhat 9 with python 2.3.3 and when I'm in gnome-terminal
and inside the python interpreter I can't use the arrow keys anymore.
They simply show ^[[A, ^[[B, etc.
It doesn't appear to be gnome-terminal's settings as XTerm has the same
problem. If just at the command prompt they work fine, I'm able to hit
up/down/left/right and see previous/next shell commands or move around
to fix typos on the current line... however once I enter the python
interpreter it stops working.
I have found no options in gnome-terminal for switching anything I would
recognize as useful, such as to "VT100" or anything like that. The only
remotely similar setting was a character encoding of UTF-8 (unicode) and
that didn't seem applicable so I left it alone.
Technically this is probably a linux question not a python question but
since it only (to my knowledge) happens in the python interpreter I
thought you guys might know what I've done wrong.

This might indicate that Python was built without readline.

Hello there,
Are there any out-of-the box handhelds that run Linux/Apache/MYSQL and
PHP? Does Redhat, Suse, or Gentoo support any handhelds?
I know the Zaurus comes close, but I've heard people have problems
running LAMP applications on it.
It would be cool to be able to run any LAMP application on sourceforge
on a handheld computer.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
