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 " or "sudo aptitude install
". Synaptic is fine too, but not the "Add/Remove
Application", the "Add/Remove Application" allows you to install
applications not single packages.

Thanks for all your continued insights on this. I'm going to investigate the
.configure log, as well as look around at other readline packages.. 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"?

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.

There's a log for the ./configure. See if the configure script can find 
readline.

FYI, in Idle the keys for going back and forth in the history are Alt-P
(previous) and Alt-N (next).

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

I don't know what's wrong, Python should pickup "libreadline" and use
it automatically if it was installed.

Try passing "--with-readline" to the "configure" script.

If that doesn't help, then I'm sorry, I'm out of ideas.

Hope that help.

I did an aptitute install of  ibreadline5-dev and then did ./configure and
make again, and still don't have any functionality to be able to hit
up-arrow and get a command repeated while inside the interpreter. Any ideas?

I think you need to recompile it again, this time make sure that
"libreadline5-dev" package is installed.

As far as I know, it's built-in by default. But I have 2.5.2, not 2.6. Have you 
tried to import it, just to check?
