Interactive Mode Prints Black on Black in Windows 8 and 10 (QuantumATK 2015)

Note

This only applies to an older version of the software.

If you run “atkpython” in interactive mode, and if you are using ATK version 2014 and 2015, you may experience that the text color is set to black, so you can’t see anything. It does not help to change the text color, or background color. Apparently Microsoft has made some small changes to the console API in Windows 8 and 10, and these changes are only included in pyreadline 2.1, to which we have upgrade for ATK 2016. We suggest to upgrade to a newer version of the software.
