getting up arrow in terminal to scroll thought history of python commands

[Vincent Davis]

I just installed 2.6 and 3.1 from current maintenance source on Mac
OSx. When I am running as an interactive terminal session the up arrow
does not scroll thought the history of the py commands I have entered
I just get ^[[A. When I install from a compiled source it works fine.
Whats the fix for this?

Thanks
Vincent
