I see the literal 'escape' character + 'k', when it should
let me edit previous commands.

I did have to compile my own python because I'm using 2.7 on
this machine.

Thanks for any help.

Works here under a Linux with Python 3. I add the lines from
your rc files to my rc files, call "python3", and then I see

|>>> 1
|1
|>>> 2
|2
|>>> 2

after pressing [1][enter][2][enter][escape][k].

(It seems Python 2 is not available to me on this system.)

For this to work, the Python implementation should use the same
readline library as your shell, I guess.

It works in python3, so I guess my problem is that I'm
compiling python (I think kubuntu dropped python2), but
I don't see any relevant options in the configure help.

I figured it out. I needed to apt install libreadline-dev.
