Hi,
Is Pyreadline different from readline?

and Jaws?

So after doing some more digging, turns out that the problem isn't with 
Enthought Python itself, but with the pyreadline package. If this is installed 
and active, it seems that most python distros will use it by default. When they 
do, weird things happen with Jaws, as I described previously. It's almost as if 
pyreadline is redrawing the line with each keypress . Pyreadline can be 
disabled by means of pyreadlineconfig.ini in your home folder, but since it 
provides tab conpletion, it would be sort of nice to have around. However at 
this point, I have just disabled it to avoid the annoyance. Does anyone know a 
workaround for this? I wanted to report this as an issue on GuitHub, but it 
appears you need to pay for an account, just to have the ability to report 
bugs? Is that accurate or am I missing something?
