ipython Problem (suspected python select or vt100)

[Eckard Brauer]

I'm on MacOSX 10.5 Tiger, PPC architecture.

Ipython (3.11.2 currently but already had the same with earlier
verions of atleast 3.10 and 3.11) installs fine. But trying to use it
(without any further args, just as command shell) bombs (see below).
Piping into or redirecting input works fine.

Putting  a debug print  statement to the bottom function, it shows up
that it's on the 3rd call of selectors.KqueueSelector.register(),

Is that either a known problem or could any kind person provide some
helpful hints to solve that?

Thanks in advance,
Eckard
