It seems to work pretty well but the letter display rate is very slow. Is there anything that can be done to speed it up?

But perhaps some Windows user on the list has some ideas.

It seems fine to me but I'm not sure what the poster means by letter display rate. for i in range(100): print 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' happens faster than I can see. When I typed the string 'aaaaa... the key repeat rate appeared to be identical to what I get in a command prompt window. So it seems just like working at the python prompt to me, only much better cause of ipython. I'm using WindowsXP on a darn fast dual processor machine, so maybe that biases my results. Characters take a long strange trip from keyboard to display but I don't think I've got any explicit delays in the readline code. Perhaps Ron can provide a more specific example of the problem he is having? gb
