Message 73137 - Python tracker

Pressing "Home" on Windows XP in the PyShell window places the cursor
before ">>>" instead of after it. On Linux, this behaves correctly.

The problem is in PyShell.py in the home_callback(). At line 1064:

if event.state != 0 and event.keysym == "Home":
    return

"event.state" returns 8 on Windows when Home is pressed, thus the
callback never executes. Here are two solutions:

event.mc_state != 0

or

(event.state & 1) != 0

This fixes the problem on Windows, and still works under Linux.
