Hi I want to use the Python 3.4 interpreter interactively, via a PuTTY ssh session. Python is running on Centos 5.
Currently, the arrow keys do not work: $ /usr/local/bin/python3.4 Python 3.4.2 (default, Feb 11 2015, 15:06:33) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-55)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> ^[[A This stackoverflow thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/893053/python-shell-arrow-keys-do-not-work-on-remote-machine suggests that the problem can be fixed by installing the readline package: sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev followed by a rebuild of Python or pip install readline Please can anyone comment on the easiest way to fix this? Is a rebuild of Python necessary? Best regards David
