Martin Panter <vadmium...@gmail.com> added the comment: I suspect Idle just passes control characters directly to an underlying Text or similar TK widget. As far as I know, TK only documents behaviour for tabs and newlines, not other control characters.
Last time this was brought up, Terry added a sentence under <https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/idle.html#user-output-in-shell>, third paragraph, about this: “Newline characters cause following text to appear on a new line, but other control characters are either replaced with a box or deleted.” ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35833> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
