IPython - problem with using US international keyboard input scheme on W2K
German Windows 2000, SP 4 Python 2.3.4 (#53, May 25 2004, 21:17:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] IPython 0.6.10 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Is it already known, that after switching the keyboard input scheme on German Windows 2000 to english USA International IPython generates \x00" instead of " when trying to input quotation marks? Idle works still OK under same conditions, so I suppose, that this is because IPyhon catches the keyboard input before the appropriate driver processes the raw keypresses - e.g. the key combination AltGr-s (i.e. Ctrl-Alt-s) which should generate a German ß i.e. ß doesn't work in IPython at all.

This has been reported previously - apparently it's a problem with Gary's readline module (or however it was called ;-), and hacking it solved the problem for someone. I suggest you search the ipython mailing list archives, or post this question there. -- Ville Vainio http://tinyurl.com/2prnb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Considering what I found in the ipython mailing archives and the fact, that after the fix with displaying colors on bright backgrounds Gary had no time yet to get in touch with me about the code I have sent him, I suppose, that there will be no new releases addressing this problem soon, right? Claudio lazy at the moment, because instead of trying to fix it just switched back to Idle ...

No idea. There have been multiple complaints about the issue (and functional patches to fix the problem), so I wouldn't be surprised if this issue was solved quickly enough.

I get a beep every time I try to type a scandinavian character (ÃÃ) on ipython console, luckily I never have to do that :-). -- Ville Vainio http://tinyurl.com/2prnb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Sorry to hear this; unfortunately readline/win32 is beyond my control, so there is not much I can offer on this front. You could try to write to Gary again, he might just have been swamped with other things at the time. Best, f -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Me too :-( I have already submitted my issues with the Italian keyboard on WinXP with no great success. It works on Linux, but this is not of a big help since my plan was to use ipython -p pysh on Windows as a replacement of the shell :-( Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I wonder, if the changes are minor and easy, perhaps you (or someone else) could offer Gary to take over maintenance of readline/win32? It sounds like he is perhaps too busy to keep up with the patches and improvements, so perhaps it's time for someone else to take over? That kind of library, while very useful, shouldn't require too much future maintenance once the remaining bugs are ironed out. After all, it's just meant to expose under Win32 the default GNU readline functionality, so there is not much 'new stuff' to do there, and once it works correctly (which I think it's currently very close to doing), not much else should be needed. Just a thouhgt... Best, f -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Folks, the code is OPEN SOURCE! It is right there at SourceForge. Anyone, anywhere, at any time is free to hack it, redistribute it, or ignore it. It works FINE FOR ME as it is. Furthermore, I know NOTHING about localization. Someone who NEEDS LOCALIZATION should FIX IT in a general way. Make your own version. Create a SourceForge project for it and you can be the developer. I wouldn't even care if you removed my name from it. I've received a patch or two for specific keyboards but I have no way to test them and no time or inclination to fool with it. The bottom line is, I write code for my own use. If others benefit that is great. If it doesn't do what you want, make your own version. If you want to distribute a new version, go for it. gb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Maybe it would make sense then to maintain the readline code in the ctypes CVS repository, since it requires ctypes anyway? Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
