It does. Thanks you. I just installed it. It uses readline from Python 2.2.1
and installs it into the built-in Python 2.2 in OS 10.2 in an instant. Now I
can develop my Python segments in a more human manner before converting them
(or running them as .py files) in 'do shell script' in AppleScript and AS
Studio. This is great.

Now - where do I find out what to do with it? I see that my left and right
arrows work immediately in the Python interpreter but not the up-arrow. (Nor
does control-P, which I thought I read somewhere put the cursor up a line.)

Thanks for the links, Dan.
