If the problem is the echo, you can see exactly the same results by using a current python.org 64-/32-bit Python. Those Pythons, like the Apple-supplied system Pythons, are linked with BSD editline. If, instead, you install the corresponding python.org 32-bit-only Python, the echo remains turned off. As I mentioned before, the 32-bit-only Python is linked with GNU readline. That's the only difference I can think of that makes sense. (I see the same results with both OS X 10.6 and 10.7, BTW.) So, if there is a problem, the likely culprit is libedit, the editline library. Another clue: try using another Apple-supplied utility that is linked with libedit, for example, dscl. Same thing happens there: echo is immediately re-enabled. -- 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
