This has come up before, I just can't seem to find the right docs/post:

Running Sage in terminal, and then, say

sage: Permutation? 

comes up with strings like 

ESC[0;31mFile:ESC[0m    
 /home/scratch2/dimpase/sage/sage/src/sage/groups/perm_gps/permgroup_element.pyx
ESC[0;31mType:ESC[0m           InheritComparisonMetaclass

and

sage: Permutation??

is totally unreadable:

ESC[0;31mInit signature:ESC[0m 
ESC[0mPermutationESC[0mESC[0;34m(ESC[0mESC[0mselfESC[0mESC[0;34m,ESC[0m

etc

What the hell is going on? I have

This is not running via ssh/screen, this should be just fine, no?
