Emacs 26, Mojave, elpy, readline

Kenneth H. East — Wed, 03 Oct 2018 05:00:00 GMT

I first started having problems with macOS readline and macports Python a year or two ago. Initially, it was bugs in resetting the tty to a sane configuration when a Python REPL exited. That seems to have been solved, but I'm now encountering readline problems with Python 3.7, GNU Emacs 26.1, and elpy. These notes describe what seems to be a solution, at least for the time being.

I recently had the occasion to use ImageMagick (IM) to create a PNG image from Pango markup. Both IM and Pango had been installed via macports, yet IM complained that there was no decode delegate for this image format.
