Git 2.5.1's bash console doesn't open python interpreter

Question

If I do it in CMD, it works without issues, but if I try it in Git Bash it doesn\'t work. I like to use Git Bash as my only console, but I can\'t do that if it doesn\'t work wit

Answer 1

Building onto @Darthfett's answer. I had to make sure there were quote marks and not reference the .exe files

So in the end in your .bashrc

alias python='winpty python' alias pip='winpty pip' # Rescue pip as well

Then is all works

Python

Tawanda@Tawanda-PC MINGW64 ~
$ alias python='winpty python'

Tawanda@Tawanda-PC MINGW64 ~
$ python
Python 3.5.2 (v3.5.2:4def2a2901a5, Jun 25 2016, 22:18:55) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> exit()

Pip

Tawanda@Tawanda-PC MINGW64 ~
$ alias pip='winpty pip'

Tawanda@Tawanda-PC MINGW64 ~
$ pip -v

Usage:
  pip  [options]
