New issue 2072: readline.parse_and_bind fails silently on 2.7 https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issue/2072/readlineparse_and_bind-fails-silently-on
lac: In the command interpreter type: import readline readline.parse_and_bind('Control-tab: "import"') Then type control-tab on the next line. readline should insert import. PyPy 2.7.9 (2.5.1+dfsg-1, Mar 27 2015, 19:45:43) doesn't. There is an alternative syntax. readline.parse_and_bind(r'"\C-\t": "import"') This doesn't work either. Note that CPython Python 2.7.9 (default, Mar 1 2015, 12:57:24) has bugs over this also, but different ones. readline.parse_and_bind(r'"\C-\t": "import"') in CPython does nothing. readline.parse_and_bind('Control-tab: "import"') works but if you then do readline.parse_and_bind('tab: "raise"') both tab and control-tab will be set to insert "raise" by CPython. There seems to be no way to bind control-tab and tab to different things in CPython. This bug was discovered by Steve D'Aprano in CPython 2.7. He will probably make a CPython bug report about it soon. _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list pypy-issue@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
