I'm using Linux. Ubuntu. I checked on synaptic and I have readline-common. Do you mean something else? Anyway I tried running the program in the iPython shell and it works great. I mean, I can do backspace and other stuff. > If readline capabilities are not enough, you could try Urwid, a library for > writing console programs: http://excess.org/urwid/ - but it's a big move. > wxPython would let you write a graphical interface (and it's a bigger move!) Yes, I know about Urwid and wxPython and they're just too much. I was thinking about curses too, as suggested by others here, but that's too much too. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
