It occurs to me that (at least for readline... and maybe also as a general proxy for whether the rest should be done) detecting the IUTF8 terminal flag (which, properly, controls basic non-readline-based line editing such as backspace) may be worthwhile. (And maybe Readline itself should be doing this, more or less independent of Python. But that's a discussion for elsewhere) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
