The lack of dots was something I noticed.
So from your questions (Ned Deily) I have been testing out several things and found a "wae"!
But first, to answer your questions:
1. both LF and CRLF and it didn't change anything.
2. Running "import readline;print(readline.__doc__)" prints
"... GNU readline", with python 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9.
3. I am using iTerm2, but the problem also happens on MacOS's native Terminal.app. Versions of python were installed with **homebrew**.
Maybe worth to mention: if I paste my code in a multi line string to execute with python -c, then it works properly.
e.g.
---
python3.9 -i -c 'a = 42
if a:
print("hello world")
'
hello world
>>>
---
The example is different because I realized I had the same problem on python3.7 and python3.8 when the 2 first lines were at the same level of indentation (Note sure if this gives a hint as to what the problem is).
HOWEVER, if I use python versions directly downloaded from https://www.python.org/, then I don't have the problem at all!
Demonstration:
---
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/python3.7
Python 3.7.2 (v3.7.2:9a3ffc0492, Dec 24 2018, 02:44:43)
[Clang 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import readline;print(readline.__doc__)
Importing this module enables command line editing using libedit readline.
>>> a = 42
>>> if a:
... print("hello world")
...
hello world
>>>
---
Same for python3.9
