Comment (by davidsarah):

 I can't reproduce this either on Ubuntu (Python 2.6.6), or in a Windows XP
 !VirtualBox (Python 2.7.1). I don't know what is different between these
 and my old Windows box that had this bug, or warner's system.

 This [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4031135/why-does-my-python-
 interactive-console-not-work-properly Stack Overflow article] ''might'' be
 relevant. Like the poster of that article, we have code to replace
 {{{sys.stdout}}} and {{{sys.stderr}}} (in
 [source:src/allmydata/windows/fixups.py]). We do that on Windows but not
 on Linux. However if that were the problem it wouldn't explain why
 readline support doesn't work on warner's system, or why it does work in
 my Windows VM.
