Hi,

The script shows, after preamble for Debian and Wine versions, what happens on typing 'wine python' at the '$' command prompt followed by 'import subprocess' at the '>>>' Python command prompt and then 'exit()' at the next '>>>'.

Each statement at a '>>>' is echoed several times while incomplete followed by a final echo when the command is completed by pressing the 'Enter' key.  The command seems to be processed correctly apart from the highly confusing additional echos.

The odd behaviour does not occur with the native Python invoked by typing 'python3' at the '$' command prompt.

Ideas on fixing this would be helpful.

Thanks,

Roger
