[Jython-users] Jython, readline, and :

[Brian E. <bm...@vi...>]

Anyone tried ":" (compound statements) with Bablok's readline (version 
0.7.0 on Linux)?  Esc-Tab over Tab will take a little getting used to 
(especially since Tab itself in readline isn't all that useful), but 
readline apparently doesn't like the last blank line needed to terminate 
the statement...

 >>> if 1:
...     print 1
...
Traceback (innermost last):
  (no code object) at line 0
  File "<console>", line 3
        null
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
 >>>

Is this a known issue?  Is there a workaround?  I don't want to go back...
