issue with python. Rather, this is a quirk with how readline works...

Since 2.7 was released after 3.1, I will assumed any bugfix was applied there

Retested with Python 3.1.1 and this issue doesn't manifest. This can be

From your version choice, you apparently are using 2.6, which is in
security-fix only mode. Please test with the latest 2.7 and/or 3.2.

New submission from Damian atag...@gmail.com:
Hi, when using terminal coloring codes (for instance '\x1b[32mhello
world\x1b[0m' for a green 'hello world') the raw_input function and readline
module behave well except under a very specific use case...
