\e is not working on pgcli 1.5.0 installed via brew

Conversation from gitter:

When I write select 1 \e, I correctly see select 1 in my editor. When I edit and quit, I don’t see select 2. I don’t see anything at all. If I type ;<RET>, I get the can’t execute an empty query error message.

nvim 0.1.7, macOS Sierra (10.12.1). nvim exits normally when I do the same thing from bash. And it works with psql. I believe it also worked fine in pgcli prior to my last brew upgrade, but I’m not sure what version I was on previously. Judging by brew list --versions pgcli, I was probably on 1.3.1_1.

I’m unable to reproduce it since my brew setup is screwed up.

Steps to reproduce:

1. brew update && brew install pgcli
2. Launch pgcli
3. Type select 1 \e
4. Change the query to select 2 in the editor.
5. Save and quit the editor.
6. Check to see if the prompt shows select 2.

The fix is merged to master. To install from master:

pip install -U https://github.com/dbcli/pgcli/archive/master.zip

@giodamelio This works for me with pgspecial==1.8.0. Please try updating that: pip install pgspecial==1.8.0.
