command history broken in Python2.3 ?

[Nicola Mingotti]

Hello ,

I'm tring Python 2.3 ( on source and binary distribution ,
on Linux and Windows ) and i think
the command history doesn't work .

When i use the Up-Arrow in Python2.3
started in an xterm i get '^[[A' .
In IDLE under Windows using Alt-p produce nothig .
In IDLE under Linux Alt-p works !! .

Do you have the same behavior in you
interpreter ?

Bye .

(p.s. please forgive english mistakes )

Can you determine whether the readline module was built (import
readline)?

.... I hadn't installed two C libraries that were needed :
'readline' and 'termcap' . After installing them i re-configured/compiled
python and now commands history works fine .
But under windows , where i have only the binary version
at hands , the problem remains ...

Have you tried installing Gonnerman's "Alternativ e Readline",
http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/readline.html ? I have
found it extremely useful to gain the gist of readline's
functionality on Windows installatons of Python.

Readline for Python on Windows, get it here....

http://ipython.scipy.org/dist/PyReadlineWin32-4.0p22.tar.gz

You will need the mingw compiler to build it I seem to remember. It
works like a charm.

Ehemm... How do you use readline? What should it do?

Does it work on 2.3? I tried installing but the readline function had
a different function prototype so I guess it doesn't work.

I don't have a version for 2.3 yet. Give me time, and
I'll get it built (after I download the 2.3 installer and
build a MinGW32 import library for it).
