You are correct - it is not necessary - but it helps with the parsing done for the automatically generated component reference documentation on the website. Iirc, without it you effectively get a blank, empty line at the start of the doc string. The currently employed algorithm for stripping the indentation gets confused by it. Hmm, thats a bit rubbish really - I ought to sort it out :-) Matt -- | Matt Hammond | Research Engineer, FMT, BBC, Kingswood Warren, Tadworth, Surrey, UK | http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups kamaelia group.

This helped tremendously, thank you!

Gloria,
I'm very new to Kamaelia, but I'm going to take a stab at this:
1) If you don't inherit from threadedcomponent then your component's
main function needs to be a generator. Generators use yield
statements to temporarily suspend execution and send a value back to
the calling context. Later, the generator is resumed in place where
it previously yielded.
2) You need to yield a non-zero value for the component's microprocess
to be rescheduled for execution.
3) Pausing is a good idea, but it doesn't happen until you yield, so
looping on a pause doesn't pause.
4) Looping on waiting for data in the inbox won't detect a shutdown
request, so you need to loop on the shutdown request and simlpy check
for dataReady in the inbox (not an inner loop).
5) Received data is returned from recv('boxname') not assigned to a
new parameter.
6) There is no need to have an explicit __init__ method unless you are
going to be initializing some instance variables.
7) No line continuation \ is needed inside a multiline comment
.
With all those changes, you have: http://pastebin.com/m1fdf518e
Good Luck!

Hi all,
I copied snippets from existing console code in Console.py to try to

is here:

And it seems to hang when I use it. I'll keep hacking away at it, but
please take a glance and let me know if anything is blatantly wrong.
My class inherits from component, and is therefore not threaded. It is
meant to be a one-off: wait for a string, return it when the client
types it.
Thank you!
