[IPython-dev] IPython goes crazy when redirecting stdout on windows

[Robert Gomulka]

It has something to do with colorama :\
When I invoke ipython and write:
import colorama
colorama.init()
My prompt becomes garbled and tab completion stops working.
When I call colorama.deinit() they start working (and I still have colored
output).

But when I remove colorama folder and start ipython, I have colors, but
prompt is garbled after import stdout_tst.
Is there any hidden dependency? I'm lost at this point ...
