Adding the following line to ~/.inputrc for bash commandline usage will break the python interactive interpreter. Specifically, you can no longer type "space" characters:
Space: magic-space
This is fairly serious for bash users, because once you've lived with magic-space you don't ever want to live without it.
This was tested under 2 different operating systems (Ubuntu 9.10, FreeBSD 6.0) and 3 different python versions, so the problem seems widespread.
Didn't know about the inputrc conditional; that works. I verified that magic-space (without the conditional) also interferes with mysql, so this seems like less of an oversight on the side of python and more of a bash-user-beware situation.
