When I press the spacebar I just hear the beep sound. Using different shell does not seem to solve the problem. This does NOT happen when I compile Python from source or when I used the python already installed in the system. I am running OSX 10.9.5. I compiled different python version and they work fine so it does not seem to be related to the version of python I am using. And it happen only with python/ipython I have never seen this problem with other application or in my bash. It seems to be something related to how Macport python is compiled (maybe some libreadline issue?). For example this version I compiled does not have the problem {{{ otool -L /Users/alessandromanzotti/Python2.7.8/bin/python2.7 /Users/alessandromanzotti/Python2.7.8/bin/python2.7: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1) /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 855.17.0) /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 2577.0.0) }}} And also the system python works fine {{{ otool -L /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 855.14.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1) }}} But all the macport version show the same problem {{{ otool -L /opt/local/bin/python /opt/local/bin/python: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python (compatibility version 2.7.0, current version 2.7.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1197.1.1) }}} " defect closed Normal ports 2.3.1 worksforme python27
