Martin Panter added the comment: I think Gnu Readline uses standard output for echoing input, prompts, controlling the cursor, etc. You can already see this by redirecting to a separate terminal. In Linux:
$ python > /dev/pts/2 So I think your assumption is not valid. Perhaps you can redirect standard error instead? (python -i . . . 2> output.txt, at least in Linux.) Or maybe use some terminal logging program, like the “script” Unix command. But I’m not sure there is a good use case for enabling Readline without a terminal to output to. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24829> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
