This is a fresh py3k checkout on a fresh Debian Lenny install:

I see this in 2.6 also, Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 (alpha). Marking this a release blocker for now, though I'll check to see if it's a regression or not.

Works for me with a fresh py3k on Ubuntu.

[binbrain]

Unable to recreate this in Ubuntu 10.04 w/3.2 alpha 4. Tried with and without readline lib installed.

I can't reproduce anymore (Debian 5.0.6). Barry?

[warsaw]

I can't reproduce it either any more on Ubuntu 10.10 in either 2.6 or py3k.
