Thank you Billy and Blaine, just when I was about to try Billy's suggested solution, I saw Blaine's post. Because I had to pip install some other packages (like pyyaml) anyway, I also pip-installed readline. Problem solved. Best regards. Wolfram On Sat, Aug 24, 2019 at 3:47 PM Mooers, Blaine H.M.

In response to Wolfram Tempel's trouble with backspace in interactive sessions, I found the same problem with backspace in interactive sessions in cctbx.python version 1723 on Mac OS 10.14.6. I solved the problem by installing readline with pip using the command below (I did not try using conda) and sourcing the again $HOME/local/cctbx-dev-1723/cctbx_env.sh.

$HOME/local/cctbx-dev-1723/build/bin/libtbx.pip install --upgrade readline

Best regards,

Blaine

Hi, Currently, cctbx.python behaves like described in this stackoverflow post:

https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__stackoverflow.com_questions_893053_seeing-2Descape-2Dcharacters-2Dwhen-2Dpressing-2Dthe-2Darrow-2Dkeys-2Din-2Dpython-2Dshell&d=DwICAg&c=VjzId-SM5S6aVB_cCGQ0d3uo9UfKByQ3sI6Audoy6dY&r=k0gMbcsdOcdbPUNV5tW66KQSZfXL0ewVDPVBp7tqbks&m=YAow0nkXkRwLy6SM_tAub2NSjj6LBr14R8z8HmBv6vI&s=Q7VWA0EW6aVF6MGxZEXhez1kRpB0sqtTuvu5F51DxqI&e= . I am missing the convenience of backspace delete, which is available on /usr/bin/python interactive sessions. Could that feature be added during compilation of the pre-built cctbx distributions?
