Hi, I would like to write an gtk/gnome frondend to an interactive program. This can be easily done using the zvt terminal widget. However I would like my application to be able to communicate with the interactive program without displaying this on the terminal. When the application is forked using zvt_fork_pty, the only way to communicate with the interactive program is through the terminal, which automatically displays everthing, so this option does not work. A second method might be using the terminal just for user I/O and doing all communication with the program from my application. Writing text to the terminal is straightforward, but reading input can only be done by reading a part of the terminal screen, which is quite awkward in my opinion. Does anybody has ideas about alternatives, using for instance a TextView widget? This is not very elegant too, since it makes no discrimination between program output and user input. I hope someone on the list can point me in the right direction. Please read 'as far as I know' everywhere were it is appropriate in what I wrote: I am just starting with PyGtk.
Thanks, Martijn _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
