Without looking at it more closely, my guess would be an issue (or difference) between the Apple-supplied editline library which Apple uses as a substitute for the GNU readline library in the system-supplied Python 2.6.1 in OS X 10.6. If you have the time, please try using the python.org 32-bit-only python 2.7.1 installer which is linked with GNU readline and then the python.org 64-bit python 2.7.1 which is currently linked with editline. If the problem is duplicated there, please open an issue on the python bug tracker (bugs.python.org). -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
