Similarly, but differently, I can't stand cursor keys -- but I prefer 
the emacs bindings (nkpf).  I use the interpreter/shell (IOW call python 
from the command line with no args), but I've noticed that I can't use 
the typical emacs key bindings to move backward and forward through my 
history.  Is this the way it is, or is there some way I can configure 
the interpreter to return lines from my command history using these 
bindings?  I have my bash shell environment variable 
EDITOR=/usr/bin/emacs and this works for all of my other programs, but 
not for Python.

Does anyone know if this feature exists?


TIA,
