Hi, I am using a script 'unbuffer' for unbuffering my outputs when using pipes. This script is based on expect and looks like this : ---------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/expect -- # Description: unbuffer stdout of a program # Author: Don Libes, NIST
eval spawn -noecho $argv set timeout -1 expect ---------------------------------------------- Now if you do % unbuffer <commands with pipes> it works fine. I am trying to write a similar similar script in python (pexpect) and it looks like this : ------------------------------------------------------------ #!/usr/bin/env python # Description: unbuffer stdout of a program and return program's error code import pexpect import sys child = pexpect.spawn(' '.join(sys.argv[1:])) child.expect('(.+\n)+') sys.stdout.flush() child.interact() # Escape character defaults to ^] sys.exit(child.exitstatus) ------------------------------------------------------------ This script works fine except that after the output is displayed on the screen, it expects me to press <enter> to comeback to the prompt. What is wrong here ? (I am a newbie) Thanks, Krutibas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
