Thanks so much for your help . . . but I'm going backwards, probably
due to my inadequate knowledge of Linux.
Ran the above vebatim, except had to do sudo make install .
Python recompiled and the system appears to be in same path/dir as
before : /home/dave/python31/Python-3.1.1
Called up interactive prompt >>> with $ python3 , as before.
Problems :
1. prompt keys remain fouled up as before.
2. will not import random module, either from prompt or
from any of my prewritten modules. Get ImportError
/usr/local/lib/Python3.1/lib-dynload/_collections.so :
undefined symbol : PyUnicode UCS4_FromString
Some other modules will import : math , sys, os
3. Some of my pre-existing modules will not run : have
not checked them all, but apparently those with random.
4. Attempted to read my modules with gedit. Pulls them
up but refuses to save : could not save file
/usr/local/lib/python3.1/dlmodules/Ackermann.py
You do not have permission necessary to save file.
This is same path my modules were in before the
recompile and the dir I made for them. Had no trouble
saving them previously.
If no fix available, I'll reinstall from the Python-3.1.1 that
I extracted from the tarball , and go back to XP for a while : (
