Problems with interpreter

Boris Breidenbach

Hello!

I recently switched from Python2.1, which was installed on my system, to
Pyhton2.3, which I compiled on my own and installed it in my $HOME. For some
reason the interpreter of Python2.3 does no longer recognize the arrow keys.
Instead of showing the last command on [ARROW UP], I get a strange escape
sequence ^[OA. Why does it behave like that? Did I miss a configure option?
I would be grateful for any suggestion.

Cheers, Boris

Your Python23 was probably compiled without readline...
