New submission from Idan Kamara <idank...@gmail.com>:
import sys, readline
sys.stdout.write('foo ')
raw_input()
When trying the above on Debian, 2.6.6 using gnome-terminal, typing a character
then hitting backspace deletes "foo " as well.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or the expected behavior when writing to stdout
directly rather than passing the string to raw_input() (for my particular use
case that's not an option though).
One possible workaround seems to be to delete the trailing space from write()
and move it to raw_input:
sys.stdout.write('foo')
raw_input(' ')
Then backspace seems to work properly. This has something to do with readline
because when it's not imported, it also works as expected (but other things
break obviously).
