When you import the module rlcompleter in a python script in Centos 6 (x86_64), the control sequence \033[?1034h is printed in stdout. The problem is that these sequence is not visible by the user and cause a lot of confusion. In my case I compared the output of a python script (the integer 6) in bash and I got: test: 6: integer expression expected How to reproduce: ============================= BASH SCRIPT that calls test.py ============================= id=$(./test.py) echo id∥sed−nliftestid|sed -n l if test id∥sed−nliftest{id} -eq 0;then fi ========= test.py ========= #!/usr/bin/python import rlcompleter a=2 print a ======== OUTPUT ======== [valva@wn009 ~]$ bash p.sh \033[?1034h2$ p.sh: line 3: test: 2: integer expression expected This only has happened to me in Centos 6 (python 2.6.5) I've tested in Centos 5, debian and Ubuntu and it does not happen.

Can you give a simpler script (maybe in Python :) to reproduce this? Also, 2.6 only gets security fixes now, so please use 2.7, 3.2 or 3.3.
