When executing the following lines with an IDLE prompt, the execution is blocking forever at the last line.
>>> class Foo(unicode):
pass
>>> foo = Foo('bar')
>>> print str(foo) # prints bar
>>> print repr(foo) # prints u'bar'
>>> print foo # blocks forever!!
This is weird because it is working as expected when executed from python.exe console. This might be related with this question, but I am not sure. I am using python 2.7.5 32-bit with Windows 7 x64. Can someone explain me what is happening here? Thank you!
EDIT: Some more tests...
If I save the class Foo(unicode): pass in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\mymodule.py
Now IDLE does not block with the following code:
>>> from mymodule import Foo
>>> print Foo('bar') # prints bar like expected.
