command line history in tg-admin shell

[Javier Rojas]

Hi,

I've been using the shell provided by tg-admin to play with my database, and I found that I can't use the command line history!!! Even simple things like editing the line aren't possible now. A normal python shell works fine, with history, tab completion, and the like

is this TG related??

I'm not quite sure, but I kind of remember that the command line history worked fine in previous releases.

any advice will be appreciated

I suffer from the same issue. It only happened after the upgrade from
0.9a6 to 0.9a8 and is still there in 0.9a9.

I have 0.9.6 here and it is working

I browser thru the changes and the only one that could affect this is

actually no I didn't said that in a RTF(c0de) way I just browser
somewhere I knew and got you a half answer. as I said I don't have
anything newer then 0.9a6 so I couldn't said for sure.

by the way the ticket is #1087

It's working OK for me (with 0.9a9)... I haven't researched this, but
see if you can update your ipython to the latest version:

easy_install -U ipython

on Mac (and probably most *nix systems):

easy_install -U --script-dir=/usr/local/bin ipython

it's worth a try. I have ipython-0.7.2

jeje, that would be from $-\infty$ to 0.7.2...  I haven't installed nor used it. But I will. Soon.

Hi guys,

This is broken for me also, but I "fixed" it by installing rlwrap
(readline wrapper). In debian:

apt-get install rlwrap

Then:

rlwrap tg-admin shell

Hopefully this will be fixed properly tho :)
