IPython issues on windows (only) #58

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
On a windows box: 
1. pip install ipython
2. ipython (to open ipython shell)
3. import colorama
4. colorama.init()

Dorks up the prompt and a lot of other ipython output

Hi,

I did not find a solution but found others having the same issue:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.ipython.devel/13262

Last comment suggests "colorama ... and pyreadline (which IPython does use) 
both try to interpret ANSI escape codes and ... they conflict in some way" [lot 
of text replaced by dots].

Starting 'ipython console' instead of ipython solves the garbled prompt but 
breaks colorama features for me. (I am using windows.)
