Martin Panter <vadmium...@gmail.com> added the comment: The problem as I understand it is that Msys uses a pipe, but Python by default limits interactive REPL mode to terminals only. The same thing happens if you start Python on a pipe some other way, for instance “cat | python” vs “cat | python -i”.
I would prefer if Python decided to use interactive mode when no file name is given, rather than by checking if the file is a terminal. But that would break compatibility. Another tip with Msys: enable unbuffered output with “python -u”. Otherwise output gets buffered, won’t be seen immediately, and may be lost if there is an unclean exit. ---------- components: +Windows nosy: +martin.panter, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34091> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
