Hi all.

The readline feature (up arrow to go back in command history) in the
tcl/python interpreter seems to be broken on MacOS 10.4.

This is also true of the Apple-shipped python on OS 10.4, so I always
use the one in fink and never figured out how to fix this problem.
Since the interpreter is embedded in VMD, I don't understand how (or
if even possible) to use the python interpreter from fink. I
remember hearing something about a licensing issue. Has anyone
solved this problem?
