When using nano as editor, python-editor first opens an empty file. After closing that file, the given file is opened.

Test script:

from editor import edit
from os import unlink
from tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile


testfile = NamedTemporaryFile(prefix='editest', delete=False)
testfile.write('Hello World!')
testfile.close()


edit(testfile.name)


unlink(testfile.name)

Executing this as follows, works as expected:

EDITOR=vim python testscript.py

However, the following does not open the test file immediately:

EDITOR=nano python testscript.py

    what version of nano and python are you using? I'm having a hard time reproducing with:

    $ nano --version

 (C) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007,

    and python2.7

    Ok, I was able to repro when using the pypi build, but not with my development build. I guess I had a fix for this in master, but forgot to publish.

    Can you update to 0.3 and re-test?

    I am experiencing this problem again with python-editor 0.4 on Ubuntu bionic with python3 and nano version 2.9.3. Can you reopen?
