Any chance you have *another* readline somewhere?  Try opening a plain
python shell (i.e., NOT ipython), and type this:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May  2 2007, 16:56:35)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import readline
>>> print readline.__file__
/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/readline.so
>>>


Show us what that says.  It may be that for some reason something else
called 'readline' is being picked up and interfering ...

Cheers,
