[IPython-dev] [Fwd: color modification of ipython]

[Jörgen Stenarson]

Alec,

as I said before I do not see your behaviour.

I think it may be related to the handling of default color. I have made 
some
changes today to improve he situation but I'm not sure if they will help 
you.
If you can test the trunk version from svn I would be happy.

If this doesn't  help. Please activate the debug setting in the
pyreadline.ini file (by changing debug_output("off") to debug_output("on"))
this will result in a log file (pyreadline_debug_output.txt) being created
in the work directory where you start python, in the beginning of the file
there will be a line that logs the initial color attribute. Please 
report this value.
(This value is only reported by the trunk version not the 1.3 release 
version)

You can also try to use the set_input_color function in the ini file to 
force
the color you want. (I don't think this function was available in the 
1.3 release
version but I'm not sure so you would have to upgrade to trunk).
