vim mode in interactive python

[Timothy Grant]

For some reason, I had never thought about the possibility of
making interactive python use vim key bindings, but as I was
reading the docs for the new release I read about setting vim
keybindings by putting the following line in .inputrc

set editing-mode vi

I have done so, but I don't get vim bindings. What might I be
doing wrong?

Thanks a bunch.
