I got that traceback as soon as I typed in "%paste" and pressed enter, without pasting anything in the terminal. I had assumed it works like :paste in Vim, activating a kind of "paste mode" where everything pasted into the terminal is modified as the help text suggests. Ok, I just noticed I should have actually _read_ the help text, not just scanned it. ;-) Sorry for the confusion. Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
