New submission from Mikhail Gusarov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Debian bug #501629 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi? bug=501629).
Both sphinx-build and sphinx-quicksetup attempt (and fail) to use ansi color sequences, even when TERM=dumb (for example, when run from an emacs shell buffer, or m-x compile. This produces garbage, like this: ^[[01mSphinx v0.4.2, building linkcheck^[[39;49;00m While it does look like I can add -N in the generated Makefile, and thus this is only a wishlist item since I have a workaround - it really shouldn't generate color unless it has *some* indication that it might work - even mooching off of $LSCOLORS would be better than doing it blindly, though it should be enough to look at a TERM or TERMCAP property - or perhaps indirectly via curses.has_colors() which does appear to be able to tell "xterm" from "dumb" successfully. ---------- messages: 74644 nosy: dottedmag severity: normal status: open title: sphinx: ansi color even on dumb terminal _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4102> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
