As a person without much experience, it sounded like a simple enough task, but having dug a bit, I found it quite complicated. It seems to me that the interpreter loop (in the standard REPL, that you get when you start ./python, blocks for input somewhere inside a massive function called 'parsetok' (in Parser/parsetok.c). Now, I could maybe investigate further, to have it return to the interpreter loop if it reads a comment (or empty line), but I'm afraid to mess up something. >From my understanding, there aren't that many other choices, because >parsetok() doesn't return before you finish the statement (in other words, it >does not return if you type a comment line or a blank line - it instead waits >for more input, as indicated by the '... '). Am I way off in concluding that this would be a change to the parser? ---------- nosy: +Phaqui _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38673> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
