detect prompt change for interactive python

detect prompt change for interactive python

[gamename]

Hi,

My normal prompt is "> ".  When I start python interactively with
"python -i", the prompt is now set to ">>> ".

Everything works fine except when I try to recall the previous
commands with "comint-previous-input".  The previous command is
restored to a position just after the first ">" sign.

Here are some examples.

bash prompt:
> oldCmdRecalled

python interactive:
>oldCmdRecalled>>

behavior I want:
>>> oldCmdRecalled

How do I dynamically set the buffer to accept ">>>" as a prompt and
restore commands in the correct spot?

THanks

Both shell-mode and inferior-python-mode are based on comint-mode, so
`C-h v comint-prompt-regexp'.  But I suspect what you really want is
`M-x run-python'.

Instead of calling python -i in a shell, use `py-shell' if you use
python-mode or if you use python.el (the emacs default) `python-shell'.
NOTE:python-mode is much better, you can use it with ipython.
