In wine-1.3.2-77-gec382f4, if I run: $ wine python.exe the '>>>' prompt shows up on the xterm, and I can interact with it there. If I run $ wine start python.exe the '>>>' prompt shows up in its own command.com window, and NOT on the xterm. I can interact with it there. The '>>>' shows up immediately, and does not require pressing return for it to appear.
ok, then... actually... that's a bug! :)
I'm not sure if it's fixed or not, based on your description.
... no, it isn't :) the "fix" has resulted in "fixing" something that should not have been "fixed".
to get true bug-compatibility with win32, ironically you actually _need_ that initial prompt to _not_ appear... but for the data to not end up coming out on the xterm, either.
but... mmmm... if you had to choose between one and the other, the present situation is infinitely preferable, but strictly speaking it's still a bug (by definition of "complete and total win32 interoperability") but just a different one from the one originally reported :)
