My test script is below.  As you can see, I've tried explicitly accepting
the command (LNUP in this case) and using the default.  Do I need to enable commands, with flags, for all commands that I want autorepeat for?
What happens with this script is that, on my Papenmeier display, I only get
the LNUP command when releasing the easybar, while, as I said before,
in the text console autorepeat works just fine.

import brlapi
import time

def createConnection():
  c = brlapi.Connection()
  c.enterTtyMode()
  # I tried to add this line, but it doesn't make a difference.  LNUP is accepted by default.
  #c.acceptKeys(brlapi.rangeType_key, [brlapi.KEY_TYPE_CMD|brlapi.KEY_CMD_LNUP])
  print "Created connection", c.driverName, c.displaySize
  return c

c = createConnection()
while True:
  k = c.readKey()
  expanded = c.expandKeyCode(k)
  c.writeText("%d: %s, %s" % (time.time(), c.expandKeyCode(k), c.displaySize))
  print "%d: %s, %s" % (time.time(), c.expandKeyCode(k), c.driverName)
