Hi,
In python, there is an environment var called "PYTHONINSPECT" which will cause a script to drop into interactive mode at completion. What should happen is the user will get the python interactive prompt ">>>" rather than returning to the shell in which the script was called. This works great in bash on cygwin, but does not work from inside a bash/cygwin shell started by NTEmacs. When started in a NTEmacs shell , the example script below will run to completion and the bash prompt will reappear. In other words, python interactive mode is simply skipped or ignored. Emacs Info: This is GNU Emacs 22.0.990.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-05-23 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched) This code snippet will recreate the problem: #!/usr/bin/env python import os os.environ['PYTHONINSPECT'] = "YES" print "HI HI HI" Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, -T
