No command history in Python REPL when using with Cygwin under Windows 7
问题 I am running Python v3.6.4 under Windows 7. My problem is that when I log into the Python repl (command line interpreter) from Cygwin I lose the history feature of Python. The up and down arrows dont show me the command history but actually move my cursor up and down the screen. When I try the same using the Windows Terminal (CMD) the behaviour is different - I can access the full Python command history. This CMD behaviour is preferable when writing blocks of Python code in the repl
