Comment(by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:5 leif]:
 > Unsetting `TERM` unfortunately doesn't ''"effectively disable
 readline"'', but may trigger other bugs, like the one reported
 [comment:ticket:11970:25 here].  Using `TERM=unknown` (or `none`) or
 something like that instead would perhaps avoid both.

 I don't think that is a good solution, because we need Sage to work with
 `TERM` unset.  Imagine for example somebody wants to run sage from a cron
 script, then `TERM` would not be set.  Also, `TERM` is not set when you
 run something like
 {{{
 ssh mysagebox "sage script.sage"
 }}}
