That might be a point. In fact, when i start python from the command
line, i get "ImportError: No module named readline".

I tried both to install python via "yast -i python" and from the
sources, but the error message was the same.

Python's config.log file contains the line
  ac_cv_lib_readline_readline=no

However, there is libhistory.so.5.2, libreadline.a, libreadline.so.5.2
etc in my /usr/local/lib/ !
So how can i make python find it? But perhaps this is a question to
the python-team...

What do you mean by "that rpm"? ncurses?

I just did
  yast -i ncurses-devel
but this didn't change a thing, at least not for Python.

Python's config.log file also says
ac_cv_kpthread=no
ac_cv_kthread=no
ac_cv_lib_c_inet_aton=yes
ac_cv_lib_dl_dlopen=yes
ac_cv_lib_dld_shl_load=no
ac_cv_lib_intl_textdomain=no
ac_cv_lib_nsl_t_open=no
ac_cv_lib_readline_readline=no
ac_cv_lib_readline_rl_callback_handler_install=no
ac_cv_lib_readline_rl_completion_matches=no
ac_cv_lib_readline_rl_pre_input_hook=no
ac_cv_lib_socket_socket=no

Perhaps this gives another hint. Are there other packages that i might
want to install?
HOW to install them? (I'm far from being experienced Linux user!)

Yours sincerely
          Simon
