[New-bugs-announce] [issue34091] REPL does not work in msys2, ConEmu terminals on windows

[Maximilian Nöthe]

New submission from Maximilian Nöthe <maximilian.noethe at tu-dortmund.de>:

The REPL won't start in interactive mode, it only starts when explicitly given the `-i` option. 

The problems IPython is having, e.g. missing syntax highlighting and no tab completion should have the same root.

See this issue for mingw:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/730

They fixed it by patching python using this patch:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-python3/1700-cygpty-isatty.patch

And this issue at msys2:
