Emacs seems to freeze when doing certain shell commands on Microsoft Windows. The following is a simple example with Xemacs:
---------------------------------------------------------- [Xemacs version 21.4.19; January 2006] Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. h:\>c:\python25\python.exe -i c:\python25\python.exe -i Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Tkinter >>> >>> >>> t = Tkinter.Tk() >>> 2 2 2 ------------------------------------------- At this point, python no longer accepts input. This example works fine when starting python through dos instead of emacs. Note, I am not using python-mode.el so that is not the problem. I also reproduced the problem with GNU Emacs (version "GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO") Is there any way to run python through emacs or xemacs without having it hang or is shell support broken?
