Greetings,
I'm trying to use the Python shell from within Cygwin. The complication is that I need to use
the Windows version of Python not the Cygwin version, ultimately through ssh, but atleast
from a cygwin bash prompt for now.
The problem is that the Windows Python shell ignores or doesn't recv important keys like ctrl-
z or ctrl-c and the up/down cursor keys move the cursor not the command line history.
Otherwise everything seems to work fine (the scripts themselves run without an issue),
atleast for what I need.
I do quite a lot of python programming, its not really feasible (or a good idea) to maintain a
second cygwin python installation.
I realize these guys are chalk and cheese, but is it possible to fix this ?
Windows XP
Cygwin is current
Python 2.4.3
Thanks,
Shane
