Python shell on mac os x

[Bert Heymans]

Hi!

I'm using iTerm on the mac the keymapping isn't right. On Linux and
Windows it's really nice to be able to hit up to get the previous
command. Does anyone know a way to get the Pyhton shell to work like
on other systems, I always get this when I hit the direction keys:

>>> ^[OA^[OC^[OD

I've been looking for the correct mappings but can't find a proper
reference online nor what the Python shell expects. Any help would be
greatly appreciated! Hints/suggestions on keywords to use in a search
on Google are always welcome :) I don't know where to begin looking
for this kind of information.

kind regards,
