Summary: raw_input problem with readline and UTF8
Initial Comment:
Backspace doesn't remove all bytes of a multi-byte
UTF-8 character.
To reproduce the problem:
$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
$ python
Python 2.3.4 (#1, Jun 11 2004, 16:35:29)
[GCC 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r3, ssp-3.3-7,
pie-8.5.3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import readline
>>> raw_input() # ä, return
ä
'\xc3\xa4'
>>> raw_input() # ä, backspace, return
'\xc3'
>>>
A small C program does not have the same problem:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <readline/readline.h>
#include <readline/history.h>
void pprint(const char *s);
int main(void) {
char *line;
for (;;) {
line = readline("> ");
if (!line)
break;
pprint(line);
free(line);
}
return 0;
}
void pprint(const char *s) {
while (*s) {
if (isprint(*s))
putchar(*s);
else
printf("\x%x", *s & 0xff);
s++;
}
putchar('\n');
}

Hi, it looks like this might be the same problem already
fixed in "[ 914291 ] Fix readline for utf-8 locales", but
your python version is from before the fix went in. Can you
try again with python 2.4, or 2.3.5 (when it is released, or
the release23-maint branch of cvs)?
Also, you could check if python's readline.so is linked to
an older version of libreadline.
