#33720: Cannot use non-ascii in the Python interactive shell -----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: charlie.clark@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: | Port: python26, python27 -----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment(by nad@…): That's a good question. Actually, 2.7 at least should work without installing the readline port as, by default, Python now tries to link with libedit (the BSD version) rather than GNU readline. Building Python from source and using the Apple-supplied libedit (in 10.7 for example), your example works OK, as does the python.org 64-bit/32-bit installer which also uses the system libedit, The MacPort port file has some patches in this area (patch-libedit.diff, patch-readlinefix.diff are the obvious ones) which may be breaking something. Someone should look into them. (I don't have time right now to do it myself.); -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33720#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
