[New-bugs-announce] [issue22551] Anything results in a SyntaxError after -i -u -c on 2.7.8 on Windows 7

[Taylor Marks]

New submission from Taylor Marks:

On Python 2.7.8, on Windows 7, if I start up the Python interactive console using the flags -i -u -c, nothing else will be considered valid syntax from that point forward.

My understanding is:

-i tells Python to enter interactive mode after it's done running whatever else it's told to do
-u tells Python to not buffer output
-c tells Python to treat any further arguments as Python code and to run it
None of these flags should be causing the issues that I'm seeing, I don't think.

Example:

$ python -i -u -c "print('Test')"
Test
>>> print('verify')
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    print('verify')
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This doesn't occur on my computer running OS X Mavericks (10.9.4) and Python 2.7.6 which leads me to think this may be a platform or version specific issue...
