When I run ipython within the emacs shell, the ipython prompt shows some extraneous characters; it looks like this: ^A^BIn [^A^B1^A^B]: ^A^B ...instead of like this: In [1]: The prompt is supposed to have a special color (and in fact, it appears with the expected color under the emacs shell); I imagine that this coloring probably has something to do with these unwanted characters. FWIW, the TERM* variables are set to: % printenv | grep TERM TERM=dumb TERMCAP= I'm running all this in OS X (Snow Leopard), and the version of Emacs is 23.1.1. The problem appears whether I run emacs under X11 or with the -nw option. Also, FWIW, I just installed this version of ipython that has this unwanted interaction with the emacs shell; the previous version did not have this problem. Lastly, this ipython displays fine if I run it on a Terminal window rather than an emacs shell window. TIA! ~kj
