Just to let you know that I've been working on this, and I have it at
least narrowed, though not fixed yet. The culprit is the
split_blocks() top-level function in inputsplitter, that does the
AST-based splitting. It simply swallows silently blocks made only of
strings:
>>> from IPython.core.inputsplitter import split_blocks
>>> split_blocks("10\n") # this is OK
['10\n']
>>> split_blocks("'asdf'\n") # here's the bug
[]
I'm not familiar with that code, which R. Kern originally wrote, so I
haven't found a solution yet. If anyone can pitch in who knows those
AST manipulations well, it would be great. I'll keep hammering on it.
BTW, I have no clue as to why it's not happening on the py3k branch,
that's quite odd.
Cheers,
f
