When I use the python interpreter on my remote machine, the arrow keys do not function properly. Instead of repositioning the cursor and recalling previous commands, I get ^[[A ^[[B ^[[C ^[[D written to the screen.
Is there a way I can bind these to the appropriate actions, or is this happening because of a misconfiguration elsewhere?

Hey, Motoma. Will you remind me of you OS environment, please.

Oops, sorry guys, I am running this on Linux :P

There are many different shells available; each with their own key bindings. Python's own shell does include a history feature, but doesn't do cursor movement (on Windows, anyway). I'd suggest a python based IDE or some other custom shell (I'll bet even EMACS has python features these days).
Hope that helps.

Interesting, I am running Python 2.4 on Windows, and it does history and cursor movement just fine.
The research I did on my own provided very few results, the only fruitful one asserted that I need to recompile Python. My target machine is a tiny gumstix board with 32MB of on board storage, and only serial and ssh access, therefore the recompiling process is a long one and IDEs (and even emacs) are entirely out of the question.

Ok - I take it back: The cursor will move right and left. I'm used to a full GUI IDE that lets me go up to a previous line and hit return to re-run that line, page up, page down, beginning and end, as I please.
I got by with IDLE for a long time, but I'm not sure of the memory requirements.

Well, the problem with IDLE is that I don't actually have a screen connected to the device. Can IDLE work in a text only mode?

The only remoting hits that I am getting are for pydev under eclipse.
