[QUESTION] IPython 7.10.1 on Python 3.8.0 "Press ENTER to continue..." possible bug?

See original GitHub issue

When using IPython 7.10.1 with Python 3.8.0, the terminal will (randomly?) prompt me to Press ENTER to continue... after submitting a command. See screenshot attached below.

Is this by design, or this is a bug? I haven’t encountered this on previous versions (so I suspect it’s a Python 3.8 issue) and ideally it’s not something I want.

python -c "import IPython; print(IPython.sys_info())"

Downgrading prompt-toolkit from 3.0.2 to 2.0.2 did the trick for me. 2.0.1 caused a problem.

Likely a bug due to update to prompt toolkit 3. You can try to downgrade to prompt_toolkit 2 to avoid this; or run from github/master branch and modify the source to print the stack trace when this happens to debug.
