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

Bah. It works in the 2.5 version that came packaged with it.
Thanks for trying :)

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.
Ziyad.
