Benjamin Peterson added the comment: It seems this bug was fixed properly by readline in version 6.3; rl_initialize won't put meta codes on the screen. Frankly, I'm surprised distros like Fedora haven't upgraded or patched readline themselves to fix this. Aren't other programs affected?
Turning off "enable-meta-key" isn't great, since it doesn't work on older readline or libedit, and is probably technically a backwards compatibility problem. I think the best solution would be not call rl_initialize during the initialization of the readline module, but I'm not sure if that could create compatibility problems. ---------- nosy: +benjamin.peterson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19884> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
