The problem occurs for Emacs 22.2 on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), whether compiled for Carbon or just for the console. I haven't tried an X build. Precisely, to reproduce:
$ emacs -Q -nw
M-x run-python RET
and that's it.
It doesn't happen for Emacs 22.2 on my Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) machine, which has a different Python build, btw:
Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Any tips for debugging this problem? I'm keen to see it fixed because it's a bit of a showstopper for me.

OK, so I just tried it with a locally built python instead of the Apple python, and it works. So the problem seems to be something to do with the combination of Emacs 22.2 on Mac OS X 10.5 and Apple's python.
