[Bug 359077] Re: [jaunty] python 3 interpreter keystroke problem

[arekkusu]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: python3
  
  Jaunty beta with all update.
  
  I have a problem with the python3 interpreter. It doesn't seem to intercept keystroke properly.
  Here is an exemple when I press the right arrow key in the interpreter:
  
  :~$python3
  Python 3.0.1+ (r301:69556, Apr  5 2009, 14:19:06) 
  [GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> ^[[C
  
  It does the same (with different code) for the other arrow keys, delete key... 
  >>> ^[[D^[[A^[[B^[[C^[[3~   
  
  Other that this the interpreter does work.
+ 
+ -----------------
+ EDIT:
+ 
+ I tried compiling python3 with the latest python3 version from www.python.org and got the same issue.
+ After searching a bit I found that this was due to not having the package "libreadline5-dev" installed. After compiling one more time with the package installed the keystroke problem was gone.
+ 
+ So it looks to me as if the the python3 package provided for Ubuntu 9.04
+ is bloken. Or am I the only one having this problem ??
