"tput: emacs unknown terminal messages" when using the PyCharm / iPython console on Windows

Question

I am using PyCharm with iPython on Windows. The only Python I installed on the box is the latest Anaconda distribution, Python 3.4.

Very often when using the console, I get numerous instances of the following warning message:

tput: unknown terminal "emacs" 

It mixes with normal output. Has anyone else experienced and / or fixed this? I dug both the iPython and PyCharm documentation, and found nothing.

Answer 1

Have you recently installed something new?

Check your path for something “unixy”, for example, I deleted ... \ Git \ bin from my path and it solved the problem for me.
