Have recently moved from XP to Ubuntu Linux. Successfully installed Python 3.1.1 in the Ubuntu 9.04 release on my desktop. Problem is the python interactive terminal >>> . Many of the keys now do not work. eg pressing left-arrow yields ^[[D right-arrow ^[[C Home ^[OH Del ^[[3~ up-arrow ^[[A Frustrating as I use all these , esp up-arrow to repeat recent lines. Found the same thing on my sons MacBook.
This is not mentioned in two recent Python books or one on Ubuntu. Nor could I found help on the www. Is there any work-around ? Should I just forget the python prompt >>> ? Thanks, Dave pdlem...@earthlink.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
