Ned Deily added the comment: You've already answered this but since I've already typed it: one possible pitfall here is the automatic smart quotes feature of the OS X text system which may or may not be a factor depending on which programs are in use. You can disable smart quotes in: System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text -> Use smart quotes and dashes (this is on OS X 10.10).
But we really need more details to try to explain what you are seeing. Can you give a step by step procedure on how to reproduce, including exactly what apps are being used (e.g. Terminal.app vs iTerm.app vs IDLE), and the results of the following commands in a terminal shell: python3.4 -c 'import sys;print(sys.version)' python3.4 -c 'import readline;print(readline.__doc__)' env | egrep '(LC)|(LANG)' ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23599> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
