Readline not working in python?

In Python 2.1.1 (#12 Oct 5 2001, 08:16:52) on my Win2k machine with a current
cygwin installation,
I can't seem to get history or command line editing to work. I've fooled with
.inputrc and with my CYGWIN environment variable.
It was my impression that this version has readline built in so I guess I'm
doing something wrong.
Any hints on how to get it to work?
If I type the UPARROW key the cursor just moves up in the window in which
python is running. When I hit return python complains about illegal
characters...
Thanks
gb
