Mmh, that's exactly what I'm running (not core duo, but still Ubuntu
Feisty on Intel)

That's seriously, seriously strange. Can you do this please?
>>> import readline
>>> readline.__file__
'/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/readline.so'
>>> dir(readline)
['__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', 'add_history', 'clear_history',
'get_begidx', 'get_completer', 'get_completer_delims',
'get_current_history_length', 'get_endidx', 'get_history_item',
'get_history_length', 'get_line_buffer', 'insert_text',
'parse_and_bind', 'read_history_file', 'read_init_file', 'redisplay',
'remove_history_item', 'replace_history_item', 'set_completer',
'set_completer_delims', 'set_history_length', 'set_pre_input_hook',
'set_startup_hook', 'write_history_file']
And also (for your proper path):
planck[~]> ldd /usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/readline.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libreadline.so.5 => /lib/libreadline.so.5 (0x40028000)
libncursesw.so.5 => /lib/libncursesw.so.5 (0x4005a000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0 (0x400a8000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0x400bf000)
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40200000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0x40243000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
I'd like to understand exactly how you got a readline that's missing
that particular function, it's really odd.
Cheers,
