I've written a Python 3 course that uses an Eclipse-based teaching system. The school is telling me that their version of Eclipse/pydev appears to have an input() function that appends a carriage return character to the user's input. This makes several things go screwy, as it's definitely not the way the standalone interpreter works, even on Windows.
Can anyone think of a simple way work around this issue by overriding __builtins__.input() with a function that calls input() and then returns an rstrip()ped version of the input string? I though of setting a PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable, but that only affects interactive interpreter instances. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ UPCOMING EVENTS: http://holdenweb.eventbrite.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
