errant escape codes sent to stdout

[John Lenton]

FWIW, "tput colors" might be what you want to do to check (unless you
want to talk to terminfo from python itself).
In gnome-terminal:
$ tput colors
256
linux console:
$ tput colors
8
emacs shell:
$ tput colors
-1
emacs term:
$ tput colors
8

Bill, as a workaround instead of M-x shell, do M-x term.
