Another question: if I run a scie or pex using `PEX_INTERPRETER=1`, it says
```Cannot read termcap database;
using dumb terminal settings.```
and any auto-completion does not work. I have `terminfo` installed. The current `TERM` is `xterm-256color` but changing it to simpler ones like `xterm` did not work. How could I fix this?

is this related to the indygreg's standalone build?
or maybe could i include something extra to the scie build?

Is the environment variable propagating into the PEX? e.g. `import os; print(os.environ.get("TERM"))`

yes, i confirmed that TERM is propagated.

ah okay :man-shrugging: I guess you could try narrow down if it's the standalone build or not by running one outside scie? I don't know :sweat_smile:

oh, actually there was a FAQ entry about this...
