Thanks for the explanation. It sounds like the Readline library assumes an
ASCII-only locale and sets its “convert-meta” variable to “on”. But Python
assumes UTF-8 and inputs b"\xC3\xAB" to the terminal. Readline converts the
input to two escape sequences: "\N{ESC}\x43" == "\N{ESC}C" (Alt + Capital C),
which probably runs the “capitalize-word” command, and "\N{ESC}\x2B" ==
"\N{ESC}+" (Alt + Plus), which presumably generates the bell character.
I don’t understand why you say Readline is “correctly” using the C or Posix
locale (ASCII), while my understanding is Python on Android always uses UTF-8
as the locale encoding. It seems there is an inconsistency with the locale or
encodings being used.
Or is this just an obscure case that you choose not to support on Android, and
therefore skip the test?
