ImportError: No module named readline

[ousia221]

I encountered an error with the below message when I commanded "~/
mydroid$ repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.g
on terminal".

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/[user]/bin/repo", line 91, in ?
import readline
ImportError: No module named readline

I am working on Ubuntu 10.04 and installed libreadline5, libreadline6,
libreadline6-dev, libreadline6-dbg, lib32readline5, lib32readline6,
lib32readline6-dev, etc.

If you know how to avoid this error, please reply.
Thanks.

I think this happens when using a version of python that is too
recent, and repo relies on the specifics of older versions.

My understanding is that repo works fine with the version of python
that comes with Ubuntu 10.04.

You might need to restart after installing repo as this could help.

sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev
then
make clean
./configure
make
make install
