Well... anything's possible, right (Fred Brooks says programmers are optimists...) Since you're asking about linux, I suppose you "could" lauch the app from the command line and redirect any standard output to a text file, whose contents you could periodically read into a string, which could then be dumped onto a surface. You "might" also be able to launch your linux program from within your pythong script using popen and capture any output from that into a string... Of course... depending on what you want to do, your mileage may vary. -- brad [bradmontgomery.net]
