  • Any other interesting things about your environment that might be related
    to the issue you're seeing?
  • I've installed the Windows native build of Python from python.org.
  • My setup is running within VirtualBox.

Details

  • Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

MinTTY/Bash

  • What commands did you run to trigger this issue?
python
  • What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

In the past when I've installed GfW with Pseudo Console Support enabled, I can use the Python REPL. However this time Python freezes unless I invoke it as winpty python.

On a whim, I re-installed GfW and left the checkbox next to Pseudo Console Support unchecked; now I can interact with Python.
