#45301: spacebar not recognized in python macport version ------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: manzotti.alessandro@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by nad@…): This doesn't ring a bell with me, either. Just to confirm, by Python shell, you mean something like: {{{ $ /opt/local/bin/python2.7 Python 2.7.8 (default, Oct 4 2014, 09:21:32) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.51)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
}}} And typing space here gives the beep? If so, the most likely explanation is an incompatible command in either a `PYTHONSTARTUP` file (https://docs.python.org/2/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONSTARTUP) or in the `libedit` `.editrc` file (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpa...). Python can be linked with either BSD `editline (libedit)` (the default on OS X), GNU `readline`, or with neither. Keep in mind that the syntax of configuration command for `libedit` are different than those for GNU `readline` (https://docs.python.org/2/library/readline.html). If you want to use GNU `readline` with the MacPorts Python, you can `port install py27-readline`. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45301#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
