Hi Paul OK I think I see the reason why the readline installed by miniconda3 is not available on my OS (Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS):
ian@ian-VPCF24C5E:~> python Python 3.6.5 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Apr 29 2018, 16:14:56) [GCC 7.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/ian/.python_startup", line 3, in <module> import readline ImportError: libncursesw.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory There is no libncursesw.so.6 in Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS: it's version 5. Version 6 was added in 18.10 but that's not LTS so I'm not inclined to upgrade just for this. But yes ipython is the way to go (I must wean myself off the command line!).
