[issue9748] .inputrc magic-space breaks interactive mode

[stephenk]

New submission from stephenk :

Adding the following line to ~/.inputrc for bash commandline usage will break 
the python interactive interpreter.  Specifically, you can no longer type 
"space" characters:

Space: magic-space

This is fairly serious for bash users, because once you've lived with 
magic-space you don't ever want to live without it.

This was tested under 2 different operating systems (Ubuntu 9.10, FreeBSD 6.0) 
and 3 different python versions, so the problem seems widespread.

stephenk  added the comment:

Didn't know about the inputrc conditional; that works.  I verified that 
magic-space (without the conditional) also interferes with mysql, so this seems 
like less of an oversight on the side of python and more of a bash-user-beware 
situation.

Anyway, thanks for the workaround!
