enter in console not functioning properly

[peendebak]

This is a weird bug related to the python or ipython console (both have the same issue) and packages which take a long time to load. A minimal example is below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Create a package testpackage with the following content for __init__.py:

import time
time.sleep(.5)

In my actual code the time.sleep is not present, but many packages are loaded.

2. Create a script example.py with the following content:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
Created on Thu Jan  5 13:12:31 2017

@author: eendebakpt
"""

#%%

import testpackage

#%%

3. In a fresh console run the block in the script example.py using ctrl-enter
4. Go to the console, type 1 and press enter. No output is generated
5. Press enter once more, the output is shown.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The entire output is this:

>>> import testpackage

>>> 1
>>> 
1
>>> 

I would expect to see a response

>>> import testpackage
>>> 1
1
>>>

This is a problem with the Python console, and it's almost a duplicate of issue #1831, so I'm closing it,

Unfortunately, there's no solution to this problem, sorry.
