I will describe the general task I am performing beforehand as there may be better way to do it than I am currently trying.
I am making a Python editor and console using Qt. This includes a QScintilla editor and a QTextEdit for terminal output. I want to "pipe" stdout and stderr from the Python interpreter to the terminal as the Python program is executed by the interpreter. I currently run the program using the Py_Initialize(), PyRun_SimpleString(), Py_Finalize() paradigm. I am able to print stdout and stderr to the console after the Python program has finished by assigning a Python class to sys.stdout and sys.stderr which has a string member that is later extracted using PyObject_GetAttrString after the Python program finishes. This is done using PyRun_SimpleString() and a bit of hard-coded Python in the C++ class invoking the Python interpreter. However I want output from the program to be appended to the terminal as it is printed to stdout and stderr, not at the end of the program. My idea for this was to make the Python class assigned to sys.stdout and sys.stderr inherit from QObject, and emit a signal whenever output occurs. I can emit this signal when output occurs with a QString containing the message as an argument, but I don't know how to connect the PyQt signal to a C++ slot from within the C++ class that is invoking the Python interpreter. Is this even possible? And if so, what functions (I suspect in sip.h) should I use? It looks like I would use sipConvertFromNewType to wrap the class with the slot with a PyObject, and then sipConnectRx to connect the signal to the slot that appends to the terminal. Thank you. _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
