Hi, I'm trying to proxy all keys typed by the user to a process spawned via popen2. Unfortunately, I figured out that I can't control really interactive applications such as mc or aptitude.
All user input seems to be line buffered. http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/ has some words about the situation: Q: Why not just use a pipe (popen())? So, I understand that I cannot write a simple python code to transperantly proxy everything between any process and user typing from stdin without handling the raw terminal. Would it work if I read from the controlling tty of the python interpreter and write to the controlling tty of spawned process byte by byte (or /dev/stdin & /dev/stdout) Thanks.. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
