Wolfgang Schnerring <wosc+pyt...@wosc.de> added the comment: I've tracked down the reason by diffing pdb.py and cmd.py between 2.4 and 2.5: It turns out that pdb.Pdb in 2.5 changes the way it handles input depending on whether an explicit output was provided, more precisely, it disables readline in that case. I don't understand what's going on here, but there is a simple, non-intrusive fix on the doctest side, see the attached patch.
Unfortunately, I can't imagine how to write a test to check this behaviour. ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14193/doctest-readline.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5727> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
