Chipp,

The software I linked to allows you to run Python with Rev. This means that you can simply get "the result" frokm the Python script, just like with AppleScript and any other OSA language. This makes the callback unnecessary.

If you still need a callback, you could call the script that runs the Python script with "send in 0 millisecs" and directly after that run a repeat loop with messages. The repeat loop can poll for the file that contains the result of the Python script. When the file is there, continue the handler and return the contents of the new file.

function foo
  put empty into myData
  send  "doYourPythonStuff" to me in 0 millisecs
  put 0 into myCounter
  repeat until (there is a file x) or (myCounter > 100)
    wait 100 millisecs with messages
    add 1 to myCounter -- at most 10 secs
  end repeat
  if there is a file x then
    open file x
    read from file x until eof
    close file x
    put it into myData
    delete file x
  end if
  return myData
end foo

Now, the user of your libraries only needs to call the foo() function.

Best,

Mark

Thanks Mark,

My issue though isn't with Python, but rather how to create an slick
interface callback system for Rev.

The idea being I would really like to be able to implement in my
library, in process function calls such as:

put getThisThing() into t1
put nowGetAnotherThing() into t2

without the developer having to implement a messy callback structure.
Not sure if this is even possible.

(Or if anyone else could describe a different type of way for handling
callback 'in process'?)
