Is it possible to get a field to dynamically update on every render call? I'm
trying to get a "status panel" which will display arbitrary information that my
update frequently (network statistics, for example)
Or do I need to make a separate thread in Python and call set_text() in that
thread? Is urwid thread safe?
What I have:
class ActionArea(urwid.Pile):
txt = None
def __init__(self):
self.txt = urwid.Text(('banner', " Hello World 2 "), align='center')
edit1 = urwid.Edit("field1")
edit2 = urwid.Edit("field1")
super(ActionArea,self).__init__([txt_box, edit1, edit2], focus_item=1)
def render(self, size, focus=False):
out = subprocess.Popen(['ls', '-l'],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()[0]
if self.txt is not None:
self.txt.set_text(out)
return super(ActionArea, self).render(size,focus)
