something to do with 'readline'. Try 'rlwrap python' (if gettable on BeleniX). (it basically "wraps" around the executable with "readline" like facilities.Its more useful for programs which not use 'libreadline' or the one installed is not usable) HTH, Amit > > regards, > Abhishek Mishra > _______________________________________________ > belenix-discuss mailing list > http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/belenix-discuss > http://groups.google.com/group/belenix-discuss > -- Journal: http://amitksaha.wordpress.com ?-blog: http://twitter.com/amitsaha IRC: cornucopic on #scheme, #lisp, #math, #linux
