New submission from William Minchin <w_minc...@hotmail.com>:
I have a Python startup file that colorizes my prompt. This worked on Python 3.7, but breaks on Python 3.8. I'm on Windows using Powershell 6.2.3, but `cmd` does the same. Maybe related, but the colorization also failed on Python 3.7 if a virtual environment was active. I am using `colorama` to provide the ANSI color codes. The startup files: ``` import sys import colorama colorama.init() _GREEN = colorama.Fore.GREEN _YELLOW = colorama.Fore.YELLOW _RESET = colorama.Style.RESET_ALL print("setting prompt, {}, {}, {}.".format(_GREEN, _YELLOW, _RESET)) sys.ps1 = "{}>>> {}".format(_GREEN, _RESET) sys.ps2 = "{}... {}".format(_YELLOW, _RESET) print() ``` ---------- components: Windows files: python_colored_prompt.png messages: 355097 nosy: MinchinWeb, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Colored Prompt broken in REPL in Windows in 3.8 type: behavior versions: Python 3.8 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file48673/python_colored_prompt.png _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38552> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
