I'm using Python. > Why would you want to embed a Python interpreter in a PyGTK app? Did you > mean gtk app?

(Hint: codeop.py) Second one: I want to have a "live" Python interpreter available for evaluating expressions/statements supplied by the user. It can be either the Python interpreter used by PyGTK or a separated one. > What's wrong with a multiline entry widget? Nothing! I just wonder if there is a tool more specific to this task. I have seen there is a terminal widget (zvt) in GTK, so I wonder if someone has developer a specific "Command Line Window Widget" for applications like the one I'm working on. > > - How can I communicate with my embedded interpreter?

Thanks. I have seen eval() and excec() as well. Given that my program is a Python->Python app, maybe I can just use these two functions (no C code is involved). > Seperate processes is not trivial as it is not supported by default. > (You can try to write Pyro wrappers ;) ) Ouch! > Depending upon how you embed python, the python interpreter doesn't loose > it's ability to load dynamic modules -> just import the gtk module in your > scripts. Nice! I'll use it. > Again I've got somehow the impression that you don't understand the > function of PyGTK. Quite possible. I'm still thinking about this app and I'm still trying to figure out where a thing stops and where starts the following one. > Nope, you just say the interpreter execute "that", and then the python > interpreter is running.

(like is your app in C? or in > Python?) Then somebody might be able to help you better ;) My app is pure Python (maybe C or C++ libraries added in future for performance improvement). It should be a graphic (vector-based) editor and I need to have a "command line interface". This interface must be available both for running scripts and for running expressions and statements supplied by the user at run time. Thanks for your help, Andreas. ---------------------------------- Alessandro Bottoni [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
