Is this actually input to "script(1)"? Script produces a "typescript" 
and, although the man page isn't explicit,  it's conceivable that the 
format is tuned for itself. The OP did start by saying "the script 
shows...".


As for the original problem, it seems that python.exe is maybe making 
some assumptions about the terminal which wine isn't handling correctly. 
I would probably start by seeing if the bug is reproducible in "wine 
cmd" and "wine pythonw" (it's been a while since I used pythonw; it 
might *not* offer an interactive prompt).
