I can "import readline" just fine on AMD64 ubuntu 8.04 under python3.0, however on 32-bit ubuntu 8.04 I could not "import readline" for python3.0. It says "import readline ImportError: No module named readline". I made sure both ubuntu machines have readline installed correctly, python2.x runs well and can import readline without any issues.

Did you build Python yourself? If so, can you paste the last lines of the build process like this: Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: bsddb185 gdbm linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev spwd sunaudiodev To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name. running build_scripts

I just rebuild it again, it went away. not sure what I did wrong at first try. The last few lines during compilation are: INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: _dbm _sqlite3 _tkinter To find the necessary bits, look in setup.py in detect_modules() for the module's name. Looks like I need install python-sqlite etc.
