Python REPL?

Is there something I need to do to enable that?

The Python REPL that I'm using has readline enabled. If you don't have it you may need to rebulid it and enable readline when you run configure.

Note that a given python may be compiled without readline or with a readline replacement.

Yeah, the one on OSX isn't compiled w/ readline. But I tried it on a ubuntu host and it works.
