There are different things: * Bracketed paste mode prevents to execute malicious command copied from evil internet web pages * Python REPL is not really convenient in the bracked paste mode: bpo-39820 * Users are not used to the bracketed mode which gives a surprising behavior in Python REPL * Copy/paste in a shell running in a graphical terminal is fine in bracketed mode, since users running a shell are used to modify a command before running and to run manually a command by pressing ENTER * The bracketed paste mode causes test failures in applications (like pytest test suite) which doesn't support it. * It is not easy/convenient to opt-out for the bracketed paste mode. For all these reasons, it sounds reasonable to disable the readline bracketed paste mode by default in Python, even if it's enabled explicitly in ~/.inputrc. If an user opts in for the bracketed paste mode, it is more likely to prevent running malicious commands in a shell, rather than not executing immediately commands executed in Python. Once the bpo-39820 will be fixed, we can reconsider to leave the bracketed paste mode default unchanged (no longer disable it explicitly). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42819> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
