I never had it installed!!! I assumed that including the line... dev-lang/python readline ssl xml ...in /etc/portage/package.use would cause sys-libs/readline to be automatically pulled in when building python. WRONG!!! Once I explicitly built sys-libs/readline, then python built against it and up-arrow/left-arrow/right-arrow works just like in bash. I emerged readline with "-1", which doesn't enter it into world. And "emerge -pv --depclean sys-libs/readline" wants to remove readline. I'll file a bug in bugzilla later today. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
