I connect to my server using SSH and then run 'python' to enter the shell. I can't use the arrow buttons (up, down, left and right). Instead I get this ^[[A , ^[[B, ^[[C or ^[[D.
Your Python installation is probably compiled without readline support. It is the readline library that enables arrow keys and Ctrl-R and stuff to work.
Try "import readline" - you will probably get an error.
I won't go into detail on how to install readline on your OS. In Linuxes, it might be apt-get install readline-dev. In other OSes, different licensing and packaging issues might have prevented readline's precense.
