What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. f=raw_input('enter a ! ')
   1. !
   2. print f What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to see a "!" returned.

Instead I get:
evalsc(r"!")

Same issue with python 3.3.5, spyder 2.3.beta2

print(input())
!hello
evalsc(r"!hello")

print(input())
%hello
evalsc(r"%hello")

As far as I understood, this is due to pair of functions:

• spyderlib.widgets.externalshell.pythonshell.ExternalPythonShell.send_to_process(self, text)
• spyderlib.widgets.externalshell.sitecustomize.evalsc(command)

First one forcedly envelopes !- and %-started strings with 'evalsc', and second runs these strings as commands.
Particularly, %pwd should print working directory.

Why this appears in the input, instead of top level of REPL cycle, - I don't know yet.
