1. emacs -q
2. M-x python-mode
3. C-c C-z
4. M-: (python-symbol-completions "s")

repeat step 4 a few times and you should notice the following
alternating results:

("setdefault" "sys")
nil
("setdefault" "sys")
nil
......

I wonder if this can be fixed before releasing emacs 24.1.

Tested on GNU Emacs 24.0.92.1 (i386-apple-darwin10.8.0, X toolkit) of 2011-12-14

I cannot reproduce this on a GNU/Linux host.

Regards,
Leo

The bug seems to be due to the following change:

Hmm, I can't reproduce this on GNU/Linux.  The result of
python-symbol-completions is always ("setdefault" "sys").

OTOH, I don't see how the fixes to Bug#5390 or Bug#5694 would cause this
problem, either.

On OSX, a build with X11 can reproduce the bug too.

I run (python-symbol-completions "s") 4 times in a session started with
`emacs -q -nw' (24.0.92) and see this:

Empirically speaking, I have been using python.el with that commit
reverted for some months now and have no trouble with completion.

There are some difference on GNU/Linux and OSX regarding
process-send-string that causes the failure.

1. emacs -q
2. M-x comint-run RET python RET
3. M-: (process-send-string nil "import sys\n")

On GNU/Linux, `import sys\n' is not printed in the *python* buffer but
on OSX with the stock python, it is. See the attached screenshots. This
extra echoing is only with the python interpreter built by Apple.

What are the tty settings in both cases?  (I see -echo, which is what
child_setup_tty actually does.)

Are you sure you used the right tty?  Ptys normally have 38400 baud.

I just went over to my G/L machine and yes it is 38400 but on OSX it is
9600. In my tests, I sshed to G/L machine.

OK. BTW if I compile python from upstream source, it doesn't exhibit
this bug.

Try running python in a terminal with echo disabled.  If you see your
input echoed then you have a faulty python.

I tried

1. stty -echo
2. /usr/bin/python

after this echo is enabled.

So seems apple python is faulty.

Looks like everything linked with libedit on BSD has this issue:

Now that we have identified the problem. How best to work around this
bug given libedit might be common in all BSD systems?

python-symbol-completions is not defined.
The discussion points to libedit which is not part of Emacs, so I guess the error remains.

However, complete-symbol works, but gives the extra '^M as I showed in bug 12409.
