Hi,
readline seems to output tgetstr("mm") even if stdout is not a terminal
(e.g. pipe/backticks/...).
IMHO this ESC sequence should only be output to terminal.
unfortuneately, I did not find a way to disable _rl_enable_meta_key()
(or set term_has_meta) via inputrc file
this popped up with some strange output from python, like this
python -c "import readline" | hexdump
python -c "import readline ; print 'foo'" | hexdump
or
python | hexdump
and then type "print <ENTER> <CTRL-D"".
while the 1st problem easily can befixed in our local sitecustomize.py
the 2nd problem with plain python startup can't.
likely other apps using readline might (mis)behave similarly, so I think
that should be fixed within readline ?!
you can find more details about the original python issues in this openSUSE
