'readline' module fails to build on OS X in case of trunk and python 3.x. It have no issues with python 2.5 and 2.6 and python 2.7 alpha. Here is the trace after running ./configure; make in trunk Python build finished, but the necessary bits to build these modules were not found: bsddb185 dl gdbm imageop linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev readline spwd sunaudiodev With that the uparrow-downarrow and other features fails which I suppose depends on 'readline' 07:31:51 l0nwlf-MBP:python-svn $ ./python.exe Python 2.7b1+ (trunk:79945M, Apr 11 2010, 07:14:54) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> t = 'test' >>> ^[[A^[[A^[[B^[[B 07:32:53 l0nwlf-MBP:CoreHD $ python3.2 Python 3.2a0 (py3k:79532, Apr 1 2010, 01:48:52) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import readline Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named readline >>> t = 'test' >>> ^[[A^[[A (pressing up-arrow for repeating the previous command fails) However, an interesting observation is, 07:34:00 l0nwlf-MBP:CoreHD $ python2.7 Python 2.7a4+ (trunk:78750, Mar 7 2010, 08:09:00) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import readline >>> t = 'test' >>> t = 'test' No such issue here, 'uparrow' is working, thereby completing the previous command on interpretor. The version is python2.7 alpha as you can see. So I assume some recent changes broke something, it was fine earlier. |

After I recompiled my older revision the 'readline' module failed to build. So I guess this is not python-related issue, rather something to do with my system. 08:17:47 l0nwlf-MBP:python-svn(rev79372) $ ./python.exe -V Python 2.7a4+ 08:17:53 l0nwlf-MBP:python-svn(rev79372) $ ./python.exe Python 2.7a4+ (trunk:79372, Apr 11 2010, 08:15:12) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646) (dot 1)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import readline Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named readline I will try looking for the cause behind it. |

Issue6877 (and subsequent fixes in Issue8066) allows the Python readline module to be built and linked with the OS X editline (libedit) library rather than with the GNU readline library (which is not included with OS X). However, the libedit included in versions of OS X prior to 10.5 is considered too broken to use here. By default, if you do not specify an --with-universal-archs other than "32-bit" to configure or if you do not explicitly set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to another value, configure defaults to using "10.4" (or earlier) so the building of the readline module is skipped. You can check this: >>> from distutils.sysconfig import get_config_var >>> get_config_var('MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET') '10.4' (Whether this is the best default is another question.) As it stands, to be able to build the readline module, either: (1) supply the GNU readline library as a local library, or (2) ensure you are building with a deployment target of at least 10.5. For example: ./configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 ; make Also note that option (2) is not available for 3.1.x since the changes to support editline/libedit were not ported to it; they are, however, in 2.6.5, 2.7 (trunk), and 3.2 (py3k). |

./configure MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 ; make does the trick. However it should be done by default rather than being defined explicitly. Closing the issue. |
