gh-111201: Support pyrepl on Windows by DinoV · Pull Request #119559 · python/cpython · GitHub

This adds Windows support for the new pyrepl.

Support is a mix of vt100 codes, enabling the vt100 codes on the Windows console, and Windows console APIs.

Minimum version required in Windows 10.

Issue: A new Python REPL #111201

Fix scrolling into input that has scrolled out of the buffer

Hey so sorry for coming out of nowhere to leave notes on this. I'm super excited to see this land! I took a spin through this PR just to see if I could find anything egregious in here from a Windows Console standpoint, and nothing really popped out.

I obviously don't really know the pyrepl codebase closely, so my review probably isn't the most valuable. I left my own notes-to-self with a "📝:", mostly just for things I found confusing. Definitely feel free to ignore those.

overall I'd say: I'm super glad y'all aren't going to be using COOKED_READ in the console anymore 🎉

📝: This is relative to the origin of the buffer, not of the viewport. is this supposed to be viewport relative in the unix version?

I suppose I don't totally understand how this is supposed to be used, but there is WriteConsoleInput which sounds similar

This is specifically about push_char? I don't think it's actually used but it does seem to technically be public API surface. The unix version calls this on inputted chars.

📝: the unix version also:

enables bracketed paste
does a smkx (\x1b[?1h)
gets the original size (to restore on exit?)

I'm pretty sure the console supported ?1h back to RS1, and bracketed paste as of microsoft/terminal#15155 (not sure exactly where in Windows 11 that gets enabled)

You're probably fine continuing to not do them here, but they could maybe get added later.

fwiw, this REPL is only activated on builds >= 10586

Thanks for your notes @zadjii-msft!

One problem we are still having I think is that resizing the terminal when there are wide Unicode characters such as emojis in many lines doesn't work (the characters don't get resposition after a resize makes the lines warp around and back to normal). This looks like it's a windows only problem because the unix terminal handles that correctly.

I think @ambv or @DinoV may be able to provide more information.

Unicode input and emojis work now. Amazing progress! I'm landing this, we can add further improvements like bracketed paste in future updates. Thanks, @DinoV! ✨ 🍰 ✨

GH-119850 is a backport of this pull request to the 3.13 branch.

One problem we are still having I think is that resizing the terminal when there are wide Unicode characters such as emojis in many lines doesn't work (the characters don't get resposition after a resize makes the lines warp around and back to normal). This looks like it's a windows only problem because the unix terminal handles that correctly

Oh that for sure sounds like a us bug. We've been making pretty dramatic improvements to the unicode / emoji support over the last couple years, so I'm guessing you're seeing different behavior even depending on what version of Windows & the Terminal you're running.

If you've got specific bugs on your tracker for those, point me at 'em, and I can get the team to double check them ☺️

EDIT: derp I only read one mail, then replied to it before I saw #119559 (comment).

This merged as-is which is OK, but I wanted to chip in...

There is a minimal risk of cutting out terminals that would support pyrepl on earlier versions of Windows. The "most correct" (also most soapboxy, sorry!) way to determine support for this is to just try to set ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING and only fall back to basic console APIs if it fails. :)

@DHowett sounds like an improvement we can still make! Care to PR this?

I can try - at the very least, it would be a great opportunity for me to learn how to build and deploy Python 🙂

@DHowett see here and let me know if anything's missing:
