Well, we could read _everything_ in character-at-a-time mode, and implement our own line editing. In effect, that's what readline is doing. The main consequence of reading everything in character-at-a-time mode is that we'd have to implement everything ourselves, and the line editing you get *without* doing it yourself is somewhat nicer on Windows than on Linux (it supports cursor movement, inserting characters, and history).

It runs inside it, but it's using the "Windows Subsystem for Linux", which (I assume) reads character-at-a-time and feeds it to a Unix-like terminal driver, (which Bash then has incidentally also put in character-at-a-time mode by using readline - to see what you get on WSL *without* doing this, try running "cat" under bash.exe) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
