Windows Powershell is just another console program. It's waiting in the background for IPython to close. The console window is hosted by csrss.exe (NT 3.1-6.0) or conhost.exe (NT 6.1+). But otherwise you're correct that a Windows console window doesn't grok terminal escape sequences (its API is instead based on kernel32 functions). With ConEmu, the original console window still exists (for standard I/O), but it's hiding in shame. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
