[IPython-dev] Re: ipython cvs on NT4 with readline and color

[Gary Bishop]

Sean,

How did you fix the reference to the python22 dll? Using the version 
string somehow?

Also, I don't see the garbling here but I haven't tried Python23 
either, maybe it is related. It would be a great help if you could edit 
Console.py up at the top and change the 0 in the logging code to a 1 
and run it.

# primitive debug printing that won't interfere with the screen
if 0: <--- change this to 1
  fp = open('debug.txt', 'w')
  def log(s):
    print >>fp, s
    fp.flush()
else:
  def log(s):
    pass

Then run it and look at the resulting debug.txt file. It should show 
the characters that got sent in.

Thanks
gb
