[Tutor] Python2 getting backspace key to work

[Ken Mead]

Hi list,

I'm running debian, I have both python1.5 and now python2 on my machine,
when using v.1.5* my backspace and arrow keys work to edit a line of code.

However, when I use python2 when I hit backspace or arrow keys I get escape
characters like ^B and so on.

Why is this happening? How can I fix it? Normally I'd query Google for this
problem but it seems to be down, for me, anyway!

Thanks for any explanation or fix,

CM
