How to repeat last command in python interpreter shell?

Question

How do I repeat the last command? The usual keys: Up, Ctrl+Up, Alt-p don\'t work. They produce nonsensical characters.

(ve)[kakarukeys@localhost ve]$ python

If you use Debian Jessie run this to fix your system installation 2.7.9

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

To fix my other 3.5.2 installation which I installed with pyenv :

pip install readline
