I sent a bug-report to the emacs list as requested and got an email reply saying the message is being held for a moderator to look at. Since the bug seems to be in the interaction of emacs with python, I'm also cross-posting this to comp.lang.python in case anyone there can help. (Note this bug shows up in all the versions of emacs that I have tried including Xemacs and GNU Emacs 21). The body of the bug-report is below: I started emacs with -q did ESC-x shell and entered the following ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. h:\projects\arcp_db\trunk\src\gui>c:\python25\python.exe -i c:\python25\python.exe -i Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Tkinter >>> t = Tkinter.Tk() >>> 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that after the call to Tkinter.Tk() my python window freezes and no longer works. Killing the Tk window does not help. I realize that this may seem like a bug in python and not emacs except that if I do exactly the same thing through a dos shell I have no problems (i.e., python keeps accepting input). Consequently, it seems like emacs is doing something funky when running the shell that interferes with python in a way that running the shell without emacs would not do.
