cmd module "busy waiter" ?

[placid]

Hi all,

Just wondering if the cmd module in python uses "busy waiting" for
"polling" user command input as this is inefficient.

Cheers

Use the Source...

At least on 2.3.x...

Last paragraph of the docstring:


These interpreters use raw_input; thus, if the readline module is
loaded,
they automatically support Emacs-like command history and editing
features.

i dont know Emacs, and im using Windows XP (cant find readline module,
only for *nix ), does that mean it still busy waits...
