Comment 3 for bug 285470

I'm running windows Vista x64, terminal encoding is 'cp850' for both stdin and stdout. Using python 2.5.2.

If I just run python from the command line then string.whitespace is '\t\n\x0b\x0c\r '

However when debugging the stack trace I was getting whenever I tried to use tab completion I discovered that string.whitespace contained the non-breaking space.

For a slightly more elegant solution that manually setting the delimiters, you could just do a string replace to remove the non-breaking space - which obviously would just have no effect if the character isn't already there.
