When I'm in Python and use the arrow keys I see the escape characters: (e.g. ^[[A^[[B^[[C^[[A^[[D).
I want to just have the up arrow key go to last entry. So, my question is whether there's an alternative to gnureadline for Python 3.12.1?
I tried the following things:
- Installing gnureadline (which fixes the issue for Python 3.11), but I get
ERROR: Failed building wheel for gnureadline. - Installing readline (deprecated, but I thought try it out anyway), but I get
ERROR: Failed building wheel for readline - Installed
prompt_toolkit==3.0.43, which didn't solve the issue. Reasoning behind it is that it seems to work in IPython based on this thread.
Running:
- Python 3.12.1
- pip3 version 23.3.2 (python3.12.1)
- Amazon Linux 2023 (aarch64)
