tab completion broken by string.whitespace

Please fix this! (Is it enough to vote on a bug to mark the "this affects me" flag? Does anyone see that?)

"This affects me" is sufficient.

I can't reproduce the problem here, even doing
$ LANG="C" bzr shell

What's your terminal encoding and python version? On Python 2.5, string.whitespace is '\t\n\x0b\x0c\r '

I'm running windows Vista x64, terminal encoding is 'cp850' for both stdin and stdout. Using python 2.5.2.

If I just run python from the command line then string.whitespace is '\t\n\x0b\x0c\r '

However when debugging the stack trace I was getting whenever I tried to use tab completion I discovered that string.whitespace contained the non-breaking space.

For a slightly more elegant solution that manually setting the delimiters, you could just do a string replace to remove the non-breaking space - which obviously would just have no effect if the character isn't already there.

I'm running XP SP2. Dunno what the terminal encoding is, I'm running from the windows console, using the python built into bazaar 1.8rc1. I made Glen's first suggested patch and it fixed the problem for me.

I'd like to confirm this bug. The fix works for me.

I would like to mention that this bug is still reproducible using python 2.5.4, bzr 1.13 (still on Vista x64).

As this has been confirmed by a few people on windows, is there any chance of a fix being included soon? (and would it be useful for me to knock out a patch to attach here?)
