Bug Description
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^[[
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 ??
