Hi to all
python now has grown to a versatile language that can
accomplish tasks for many different purposes. However,
AFAIK, little is known about its ability of kernel coding.
So I am wondering if python can do some kernel coding that
used to be the private garden of C/C++. For example, can python
intercept the input of keyboard on a system level? someone told me
it's a kernel thing, isn't it?
http://wiki.python.org/moin/elmer
well, straightly speaking, how can I know a key is pressed on a system-
level if
using python?
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-curses.html
Unless you are using an ancient piece of hardware -- a terminal is a
pseudo terminal and a key stroke isn't a kernel event at all.
If you were looking for examples of kernel level functions you might
want to consider driver interfaces -- how to program device interfaces
-- that, too, can be done in Python -- but, again, you are always
calling some underlying C function exposed via SWIG or another cross
compilation tool. Python doesn't reinvent system calls! :-)
