Hi seapiggies! Sorry for posting this here, but I'm being stonewalled
by the py2exe-users list (I subscribed to the list, including having
received confirmation thereof, but my posts keep getting bounced back
w/ "You are not allowed to post to this list." I emailed
py2exe-users-owner a week ago and haven't heard a thing!) :-(
Anyway, I think my question is rather simple: I?m py2exe-ing a
Tk-utilizing GUI script, which also writes stuff to stdout/stderr. So
far, no problems, but what?s the preferred way to have my app
instantiate a console and direct stdout/stderr to it? os.spawnl?
Something fancier? Thanks!
Hi David,
Usually, py2exe apps don't write anything to a console, but rather to a
log file. You might find this page on py2exe stderr redirection helpful:

Hi, Dan, thanks for your reply. You say "usually": is this a
euphemism for "necessarily always"? The person I'm writing the script
for is skeptical in the extreme and wants "live" feedback as to
precisely what the app is doing. (If it helps: I'm automating a
telnet session the guy for whom I'm writing it is used to doing
manually; they're not accustomed to Python around here, plus it's of
primary importance that everything go "exactly right," so he wants to
see each telnet command issued and each returned result.) Thanks
again,
David,
By "usually", I meant "by default" and also "by convention". However if
logging to file isn't sufficient for your particular application, you
can always redirect stdout/stderr yourself. And you should consider
making your application a "console" app rather than a standard GUI
Windows app, thereby getting a console window for stdout. See
http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial for more info.
