I'm running Python 2.3.5 and 2.4.1 under Debian Sarge. Instead of deleting the character after the cursor, pressing my "delete" key in an interactive Python window causes a system beep and inserts a tilde character. This behavior occurs across all of the terminals I've tried (xterm, Konsole, real Linux terminal), but does not occur when running bash instead of python. Other Readline-provided functionality (moving the cursor, history) seems to work fine.
The delete key was working fine in Python up until a few days ago, and I don't remember making any changes that should have affected it. If anyone knows what could be causing this problem, please explain. It's driving me crazy! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
