Hi all,
My apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I couldn't find the
answer on the list and others might still have the same problem.

After a couple of hours of having the same problem, I found out that you
should surround the unprintable characters with \001 and \002:
sys.ps1="\001\033[1m\033[32m\002spy>\001\033[0m\002"
sys.ps2="\001\033[1m\033[32m\002 .\001\033[0m\002"
