Doctest debugger doesn't work on OS X

[roed314]

sage -t --debug, a new doctesting feature introduced by #12415, doesn't work for me on OS X 10.6.8 (it starts the tests but then just hangs). Strangely, the tests in sage.doctest.forker.SageDocTestRunner.report_unexpected_exception seem to succeed.

Can anyone else duplicate this problem on another platform?

Depends on #12415

Did you check that it is really attachment: 12415_review.patch:ticket:12415 which breaks this and not one of the subsequent patches in #12415?

Adding back

import readline

in init_sage() seems to solve the problem.

Thanks for figuring out what was causing this. The only change I would suggest is using

:trac:`14249`

rather than

https://github.com/sagemath/sage-prod/issues/14289

I think that

:trac:`14249`

should be used in and only in docstrings.

So I propose to leave the comment (unless you prefer Trac #14289 to the full URL).

Yes, you're right. Then it looks fine to me.
