Re: Fwd: [pygtk] A weird problem with raw_input and zvt

[Hassan Aurag <aurag crm umontreal ca>]

Ok,

This is getting weirder but NOW I KNOW.

It is not any of the below.

Here goes, my prompt is like this:

"\033[0;34mGIn["+ str(self.history_index) +"] := \033[0;39m"

See I am making it blue then going back.

THIS IS WHAT DRIVES THE TERMINAL NUTS, when I use 
raw_input(self.prompt)

If I use raw_input('hello: ') all goes well.

So it seems, it doesn't like those escape sequences.

My question is, what is the escape sequance that resets it all!

Thanks again
