Subject: gh-139445: Skip pyrepl tests if the terminal is not supported (GH-154497)
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7745710bec7f6de899e97d6f87528035e8977d85;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

gh-139445: Skip pyrepl tests if the terminal is not supported (GH-154497)

They were only skipped if TERM was unset or "dumb", but pyrepl also
needs the terminal to have several capabilities.
