Package: ipython Version: 0.7.2-5 Severity: normal
Hello, when I try to use ipython, I often give up after a short while because the screen handling of ipython makes it hard to get things right. Simply running "python" instead of "ipython" does not have this problem. The screen output problem itself is like this (simulated screen shot in ascii art below): Say, I want to define a function. This looks like this on the screen for a complete function f(x): In [1]: def f(x): print x ...: To illustrate the problem, I've started another function, g(x), to show the cursor position ('_') after hitting return: In [2]: def g(x): _ ...: This way, it's nigh impossible to get indentation right, and of course, once you've done something, to cut&paste it into a real file also doesn't work, for much the same reason. If I hit Ctrl-C at this point, I get ...: KeyboardInterrupt In [2]: _ with the cursor in the right position (again), and I also can't backspace over the prompt at this point. I'm using a UTF-8 environment and have my terminal set to xterm.
