cmd Terminal prints "In [..]" in the middle of the output stream

[ti_me1]

When using the script interactive_pyaci.py together with ipython and the serial example, I observe a strange formatting in the command window, because the "In [..]" is often printed out somewhere in the middle of the output data stream of the device. I think, the terminal itself, as well as the example code on the nrf, do not cause this problem. What I do understand, is, which part of software is responsible for printing out the "in [..]" expression. Please help, thanks.

The following screenshot shows a sequence from the "Sending mesh packets" example...

The formatting that I am expecting, is like this...

In [1]: for dev in d: dev.quick_setup()

Hi!

I'm not sure what could be the cause of that.

Is this a persistant problem? Does it happen every time?

Does it print the device index on line 1 and 3 every time, or does it vary?

Best regards,
Joakim.

Hi Joakim

The problem can be reproduced without any problems, it is persistant.

But the Output does not always look exactly the same. As you can see in the newly attached screenshot, the same effect I observed repeatedly when continuing the example.

Kind regards

Hi again.

I'm afraid I wasn't able to reproduce this.

I haven't tried using "CMDER" as a console emulator. I was using windows command line, and the output was as expected.
Have you seen the same issue using Windows command prompt?

Best regards,
Joakim

Hi Joakim

Thank you for trying to reproduce it. To your question: The effect is indepedent from the console (how it should be). Firstly I was using the Windows command line too. This is behaving the same way. In the mean time I installed the complete toolchain on a colleague's computer and he had the same problems. I will try it on my private notebook.

It would be helpful to me if you let me know which versions of python and OS you are using, with your working Installation.

Best regards

Hi again.

I am using Windows 10, with Python v3.7, with expected output.

From what I can see you are using an older version of Windows? If you let me know the specifics of your setup, I can try to reproduce.

Best regards,
Joakim

Hi again.

It doesn't seem that I am able to reproduce the issue using Win7 either.

Do you have a Win10 computer available to test this and see if that generates the same issue?

Best regards,
Joakim
