By the way: After trying to take over readline support from Gary Bishop, I have inbetween given up trying to fix readline behaviour on international keyboards in Windows (mainly because the Python 2.4 IDLE works for me best, so I don't need IPython anymore). I haven't digged very deep into it, but I mean, that the whole code must be probably more or less entirely rewritten by someone with experience in internationalization matters on Windows (various keyboards and localized Windows versions) and readline behaviour on *nix systems. Up to now, there is noone known to me willing to support the readline package - any volunteers? Michele Simionato and me can then test the outcome on German and Italian Windows systems and keyboards.

Usually means you have a readline package installed: I know that this one gives the effect described: http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools/ Don't know about this one: http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/readline.html TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
