9 I never had it installed!!! I assumed that including the line...
10
11 dev-lang/python readline ssl xml
12
13 ...in /etc/portage/package.use would cause sys-libs/readline to be
14 automatically pulled in when building python. WRONG!!! Once I
15 explicitly built sys-libs/readline, then python built against it and
16 up-arrow/left-arrow/right-arrow works just like in bash. I emerged
17 readline with "-1", which doesn't enter it into world. And
18 "emerge -pv --depclean sys-libs/readline" wants to remove readline.
19 I'll file a bug in bugzilla later today.
