#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 charlie.clark@…): Replying to [comment:4 nad@…]:
You need to install the corresponding readline ports, i.e. py26-readline and/or py27-readline. (Umlauted characters are in the BMP, so ucs2 is fine.)
That does indeed solve the problem though I'm curious as to why the readline has to be installed additionally. Licensing issues? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33720#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
