Package: ipython
Version: 0.7.2-5
Severity: normal


Hello,

when I try to use ipython, I often give up after a short while because
the screen handling of ipython makes it hard to get things right. Simply
running "python" instead of "ipython" does not have this problem. The
screen output problem itself is like this (simulated screen shot in
ascii art below):

Say, I want to define a function. This looks like this on the screen for
a complete function f(x):

In [1]: def f(x):
   print x
   ...: 

To illustrate the problem, I've started another function, g(x), to show
the cursor position ('_') after hitting return:

In [2]: def g(x):
 _ ...:     

This way, it's nigh impossible to get indentation right, and of course,
once you've done something, to cut&paste it into a real file also
doesn't work, for much the same reason. If I hit Ctrl-C at this point, I
get

   ...:     
KeyboardInterrupt
In [2]: _

with the cursor in the right position (again), and I also can't
backspace over the prompt at this point.

I'm using a UTF-8 environment and have my terminal set to xterm.


Kind regards,
--Toni++

thanks

As I am also unable to reproduce this bug with IPython 0.8.4-1 and it
seems as if the problem has been fixed upstream I am closing this bug
report. Thanks for your reply.

Regards,

Stephan
