Summary: Command history doesn't work on Mandrake
Initial Comment:
When I build version 2.2b1 and 2.2a4 on my
Linux Mandrake 8.1 pc the command history
doesn't work. The python that is included in
Mandrake 8.1 works ok in that regard.
I can't use arrow keys or ctrl-p to go backwards.
No ctrl- or arrow key-strokes seems to work.
When I build 2.2a4 for Solaris it works ok.
I have Swedish keyboards, in case that could matter.
Best regards,
Peter Nordlund

You probably don't have the GNU readline library installed
in a place where Python looks for it. Download its source
from a GNU site and build and install it.
(If you *do* have GNU readline installed, it would be
interesting to find out why setup.py doesn't find it and/or
why it doesn't build the readline extension module.)
