[Pythonmac-SIG] resetting up-arrow

Hi all, In MacPython 2.5 (standard pkg install) I've lost the up-arrow function/scrollback function to '^[[A' Elegant as is is, it's not very friendly! I'm pretty sure it used to work. If I load macPython 2.4 (or vim or whatever) from the same shell, it behaves itself, so I'm guessing it's

This is good news indeed, and will create great waves, if not a tsunami (sorry Christopher:-) I've been 1/2 following this thread since I found the 1.1.6 (?) PIL downloaded lib interfered with gcc through scons and I had to ditch it. Please post a message when the package has been successfully

Hi All, Does anyone know of a set of (formalized software engineering) metrics against which (python) modules can be evaluated? I am about to (yet again) summarise several modules which do similar things and I wondered if anyone knows of a such a set. I'd like to be able to include things like
