These issues are not as simple as you think. But anyway, clearing the shell in #6143. Shell is a modified editor. Currently, the arrows move the cursor around just as in the editor. For multiline statements, this is essential, and even for single-line statements, not as useless as some claim. Single-line command consoles can get away with changing the meaning of Up and Down. This is discussed in #2704, and what I said above is explained more in msg243140 of May 2015. I have a question about Linux consoles. Windows Command Prompt is strictly a command *line* console. It sees >>> def fib(n): ... if n >= 2: ... return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1) ... else: ... return n as 5 commands. Its history mechanism retrieves a line at a time. Does a Linux console retrieve all 5 at once, as IDLE does? ---------- resolution: -> duplicate stage: test needed -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33893> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
