Python debugger (pdb) stopped handlying up/down arrows, shows ^[[A instead

Question

I am using python 2.6 in a virtualenv on an Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (natty) machine. I have this code in my (django) python code:

import pdb ; pdb.set_trace()
         


        

Answer 1

See Python interactive mode history and arrow keys. In my case, Amadan's answer worked; I already had the readline module.
