New submission from olivier-mattelaer :
Hi Everyone,
I have found a strange behavior of the import command for the routine readline:
The commands (put in the file test.py) is simply:
import readline
print readline.__doc__
If I run this programs "normally" (i.e. python2.x test.py) everything runs
normally:
[tmp]$ python2.7 tmp.py
Importing this module enables command line editing using GNU readline.
But if I launched it in the following way:
python2.X test.py &
It's stops before finishing the import command (so no output even if I print
the output into a file).
This doesn't raise any error just stop the program.
I tried to add a try...except...finally... but even the finally statement is
not executed.
Of course, I realize that readline is not that interesting to load with that
options. So I would be more than happy if you could indicate me a way to either
detect that the user launch the program with '&' or a way to avoid readline to
stop the program in this situations.
Thanks a lot,
Olivier
