On Xubuntu 8.04. In Python2.5 arrow keys allowed you to scroll through previous lines typed but with 2.6rc1 this stopped working and it's now just typing the ^[[A^[[B^[[D^[[C characters. |

This probably has something to do with your readline build? Did you compile Python yourself? |

Yes I did the configure / compile myself. After reading about readline in setup I am still unable to enable it but I guess it is not a bug in Python but more a user problem. I am quite puzzled as to why something like this would stop being enabled by defualt tho, pretty sure I don't know anyone who doesn't use input history. |

That was it. Needed to install libreadline5-dev. Then the default settings for readline in Modules/setup needs uncommented (line 165 in the current version) and it works. Thank you kindly. |
