[issue9748] .inputrc magic-space breaks interactive mode
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc amaur...@gmail.com added the comment: I didn't know what magic space is. But a quick google search shows that it is specific to Bash. in http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2003/papers/bash_tips/#S16 There are other readline-based programs without this feature, so make it only apply in Bash: $if Bash Space: magic-space $endif For example the MySQL client and the Perl debugger can also use the readline library. Python also uses the readline library; you should add the $if Bash. -- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc resolution: - invalid status: open - pending ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9748 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue9748] .inputrc magic-space breaks interactive mode
stephenk krauth.sp...@gmail.com added the comment: Didn't know about the inputrc conditional; that works. I verified that magic-space (without the conditional) also interferes with mysql, so this seems like less of an oversight on the side of python and more of a bash-user-beware situation. Anyway, thanks for the workaround! -- status: pending - open ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9748 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue9748] .inputrc magic-space breaks interactive mode
New submission from stephenk krauth.sp...@gmail.com: Adding the following line to ~/.inputrc for bash commandline usage will break the python interactive interpreter. Specifically, you can no longer type space characters: Space: magic-space This is fairly serious for bash users, because once you've lived with magic-space you don't ever want to live without it. This was tested under 2 different operating systems (Ubuntu 9.10, FreeBSD 6.0) and 3 different python versions, so the problem seems widespread. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9748 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
