Fixes #1357
This PR is a workaround to fix a bizarre bug that happens when the
ipy
command is executed when usinggnureadline
withPython 3.13
on Mac or Linux.We aren't sure if the fundamental underlying bug exists within
gnureadline
,ipython
, orreadline
; but this workaround does appear to be a solid method for preventing it.NOTE: This PR is slightly more complicated than need be. Strictly only the try/import at the beginning is necessary. The other code within
ipy
where we importstart_ipython
fromIPython
if it doesn't already exist is to support the rare case that developers have actually used many times in the real world whereipython
isn't installed at first and you encounter a bug in acmd2
application and then installipython
from within thecmd2
app and then executeipy
to help debug the problem.Also:
