> A number of times recently, I’ve had python 2.7 just lock up in the terminal as well. Sometimes it comes back after a while, but usually not. I can just open another terminal at that point and work there. Could this be the same problem? It seems random enough that I hadn't reported it, and I wasn’t even sure if it was a python, terminal, OS or what kind of problem? Is the ticket just a python3 issue?<br>

The ticket says it affects all python versions.<br>

There is not broad agreement on how to proceed, so we're currently in a bit of limbo. Some would like to dig in and identify the problem. I think that's great, but I don't have the time to work that out currently, so I moved 27 (likely broadest used) to build against readline (so few users run into this issue) until this is worked out.
