[IPython-user] stderr missing in IPython + Emacs + WinXP

[Joe Covalesky]

I tried the trunk pyreadline.  While it fix the problem that originally 
made me revert to pyreadline 1.3 (none of
the output prompts/ stdout show up), it doesn't help with the problem 
where output to stderr is missing.

I tried Jie's suggestion, I modified iplib.InteractiveShell.interact's 
while loop to read as follows, but no dice:

 while not self.exit_now:
            if more:
                prompt = self.hooks.generate_prompt(True)
                if self.autoindent:
                    self.rl_do_indent = True
                   
            else:
                Term.cout.flush()
                Term.cerr.flush()
                prompt = self.hooks.generate_prompt(False)


As a reminder, here's the problematic scenario from an emac's user's 
point-of-view:

IPython 0.8.2 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
?         -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.
%quickref -> Quick reference.
help      -> Python's own help system.
object?   -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.

In [2]: from sys import stdout, stderr

In [3]: stdout.write('foo')
foo
In [4]: stderr.write('bar')
