I found that when I do "import readline" in this simple example, I have a working command history. When I do this in my real application, then I get the following: >>> import readline Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/readline.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_IOError Still experimenting what exactly is causing this. This application is not linked against libpython. But it loads a shared object at run time which is linked against libpython and which contains the call to PyRun_InteractiveLoop. But it looks like this "plugin" is not enough to make the symbols known to Python. If I add -lpython2.4 to the linker command when building the main application, then it works. But this is somewhat against what I was planning to achieve when using a plugin: independence of the main application from Python.
