Dear all,
I just noticed the following behavior when I run
import os
import sys
import readline
histfile = os.path.join(os.environ["HOME"], ".pyhist")
try:
readline.read_history_file(histfile)
except IOError:
pass
import atexit
atexit.register(readline.write_history_file, histfile)
del os, histfile
while cmd != "":
sys.stdout.write("prompt: ")
cmd = raw_input()
# at this point it studies the contents of cmd and decides what to
do next.
However, if the user simply presses Tab followed by a backspace s/he
effectively makes the prompt disappear. Is there a way to prevent this
from happening?
Thanks for any help,
Mack
