[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-13301) Cannot enter non-US characters at cqlsh interactive prompt on Mac

Henrik Ståhl created CASSANDRA-13301:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Cannot enter non-US characters at cqlsh interactive prompt on Mac
                 Key: CASSANDRA-13301
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13301
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: CQL
         Environment: OS X 10.12.3, MacBook Pro / Swedish Pro keyboard
            Reporter: Henrik Ståhl
            Priority: Minor


The cqlsh interactive prompt does not accept key entries of non-US characters (such as å, ä, ö, §) from my keyboard. When I hit a non-US key, I get a "boink" sound and nothing appears at the prompt. I don't have this issue at the system command prompt, nor when parsing a cql file using "cqlsh -f myfile.cql". Seems to be related to the system-provided Python shell (2.7.10) on OS X.

Verified workaround: "easy_install readline" from command line as per https://discussions.apple.com/message/11569875#11569875, then restart cqlsh.

Possible (not verified) workaround: Install newer Python version.
