I was wondering if anyone can explain why all of a sudden in Python interactive mode all arrow keys are failing?
When I press up button for example to go through command history I get "^[[A". Same with any other arrow keys.
I have no idea why this happened and it was working before (on OS X Snow Leopard). Does anyone know a way to fix this?
Many thanks,
G

K_UP , K_DOWN , K_LEFT , and K_RIGHT correspond to the arrow keys on the keyboard. If the dictionary entry for that key is True , then that key is down, and you move the player .
Previously we saw that the IPython shell allows you to access previous commands with the up and down arrow keys, or equivalently the Ctrl-p/Ctrl-n shortcuts.
On Windows, bring up the command prompt and type "py", or start an interactive Python session by selecting "Python (command line)", "IDLE", or similar program from the task bar / app menu.
If you are using homebrew, this is an easy fix:
brew uninstall python brew uninstall readline brew install readline --universal brew install python
That fixed it for me (running OS X Mavericks 10.9.5)
