Yes, checkout gtk.input_add_full.
http://www.moeraki.com/pygtktutorial/pygtk2tutorial/ch-TimeoutsIOAndIdleFunctions.html
The tutorial needs some updating. It describes only three args, but it
takes more. Everyone after the third are passed to the third arg, which
should be a function call.
example:
gtk.input_add_full( self.dsk.progressFile, /* the file to monitor */
gtk.gdk.INPUT_READ, /* flag to input_add_full */
self.dsk.readProgress, /* route to call when
there is data in
self.dsk.progressFile */
self.updategui ) /* additional parms to pass */
inside dsk.readProgress, (another class)
def readProgress( self, fx, mode, updateFunction=None )
Here's were the tutoral is screwy.
gtk.input_add_full calls readProgress (arg[2]) and passes it:
(arg[0],arg[1], arg[3], ....)
So given:
gtk.input_add_full( arg0,arg1,arg2,arg3,...argN)
when there is data gtk.input_add_full will call arg2 like:
arg2(arg0,arg1,arg3...argN)
arg2, your routine should read and process the data stream. It must
return TRUE if you want gtk.input_add_full, to continue to watch for new
data. When you are done close your file stream and return FALSE,
----------------
My function, readProgress, reads the data, updates class variables,
calls updategui, and returns TRUE (until the end of file is reached).
updategui looks like:
----------------
def updategui( self ):
while gtk.events_pending() :
gtk.mainiteration()
return
This function is optional. If your readProgress routine is long, you'll
want to do it.
on the gui side of the program, I set timeouts to read the class dsk
variables, and update a progress bar.
Hope that's enough sample code to guide you.
