"tput: Unknown terminal 'emacs'" messages when using PyCharm / iPython console on Windows

Question

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

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

tput: unknown terminal "emacs"

This is mixed in with the normal output. Has anyone else experienced and/or fixed this? I have dug through both the iPython and PyCharm documentation and have not found anything related.

Answer 1

Did you install anything new recently?

Check your path for anything "unixy", for example I removed ...\Git\bin from my path and it solved the problem for me.
