[Xen-devel] [PATCH] [XM] Control characters make xm tests fail



On my FC7 installation some of the test in the xm test suite fail for no
apparent reason. The problem is that the python 'readline' module puts
out control characters that confuse code that parses the output of some
of the xm commands that are being run. The readline module dumps those
characters upon import. The attached patch works around this problem.

Here's what I get in out.txt when doing 'python 2>&1 | tee out.txt' and
'import readline' on the python command line:

Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Apr 10 2007, 10:29:13)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070403 (Red Hat 4.1.2-8)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
[[?1034h>>> >>>

The characters before the '>>>' above are those printed by that version
of 'readline' and remain invisible on the screen but appear in the file
and confuse the xm test suite parser.
