Re: [Tutor] Add readline capabilities to a Python build 2.6 on Ubuntu

Thanks for trying :) There's a log for the ./configure. See if the configure script can find readline. Thorsten ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

If that doesn't help, then I'm sorry, I'm out of ideas. Try installing other readline modules that looks suspicious. In my Ubuntu machine (these are all readline-related modules in my machine, not only the ones that is needed for python), I have these packages installed: v lib32readline-dev- v libghc6-readline-dev - v libghc6-readline-doc - v libghc6-readline-prof- v libreadline-dbg - v libreadline-dev - i libreadline5 - GNU readline and history libraries, run-ti i A libreadline5-dev - GNU readline and history libraries, develo i readline-common - GNU readline and history libraries, common try matching that and ./configure then make. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

But, noob question, did you just go into something like synaptic to find out what readline type packages are installed? (Sorry if this is annoying anyone on the list, but its all in the name of getting the Python inerpreter to be happy !) Or did you do some kind of command line aptitude list out readine stuff? Yeah, you can go to synaptic and and do a search. Alternatively, you type aptitude search readline on the terminal (no need for sudo/root access for search). If you found what you want to install, you can use sudo apt-get install list-of-packages or sudo aptitude install list-of-packages. Synaptic is fine too, but not the Add/Remove Application, the Add/Remove Application allows you to install applications not single packages. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Re: [Tutor] Add readline capabilities to a Python build 2.6 on Ubuntu
Eric, I am running under Ubuntu 8.10. If I use IDLE the up arrow key gives me nothing at all. It does work using iPython which for most testing of ideas and code snippets has replaced IDLE. My GUI of choice is WING-personal which cost $30.00 and is by far the best investment I have made for a very high powered python developing environment and yes of course the open arrow works in that environment also. Consider, at the least, using iPython. Good luck, Robert Berman Eric Dorsey wrote: Still doesnt work.. I just get this when I hit the up arrow: ^[[A Bah.
