Sriram <sriramrathinav...@yahoo.com> added the comment: Hi,
I believe this behaviour can be tested if we can prove that Cmd's cmdloop uses raw_input to get the data as against self.stdin.readline(). To test it, ideally I would have liked to override sys.stdin with a fake input stream and pass the list of args (like it's done in test_doctest.py). I can then pass the character codes for Up and Down Arrows in our fake stream and check if the raw_input can use readline and move through the fake input stream but that won't be possible because the C implementation of raw_input uses the readline functionality if only both stdin and stdout are from a terminal. So alternatively, if we can just ensure that doctest's pdb (_OutputREdirectingPdb) has use_rawinput as 1, we can be assured that readline will be used. I have attached the svn diff with trunk. Please review and comment Thanks Sriram ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17109/pdbreadline.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
