Interactive mode - arrow keys?

[Gregory Trubetskoy]

Is it possible to get Python to behave like bash in interactive mode on
Solaris - i.e. when I hit the upper arrow key it brings up the last
command?

I know it works on NT - can it work on unix?

Thanks!

You have to enable the readline module in Modules/Setup (there are
instructions in the file) and run make. You also need to have the readline
library (libreadline.a), you might already have that (if not, it's at the
usual GNU sites).
