I'd say that moving the cursor to a position where you can't type is a bug. In that case, "beginning of the line" should be understood to be after the prompt. I see the use for it in an editing environment (I have an Emacs macro that does the same thing), but I don't really see the point of having the same feature in the shell other than for harmless consistency. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
