Hello, I'm fairly used to working with Python but it's the first time I'm trying to use Tkinter so I'm running into a problem.
I'm using three python scripts with Tkinter GUIs and a fourth script that basically opens communication pipes with the three others. The idea is that the fourth script works as a communication intermediary between the others. The problem is that I can't make the Tkinter GUIs respond to stdin events because the toplevel mainloop isn't under my control, I have no idea how to do this. Here's the main idea simplified. Script 1 is a Tkinter GUI. Script 2 uses os.forkpty() to get the child's pseudo-terminal descriptor. Now if in Script 1 I use <print "Here I Am!"> I can get that input in Script 2 using simply the os.read() method on the pseudo-terminal descriptor. The problem is that when I use os.write() on that descriptor, there's no way I can get the input on Script 1 because I have no control whatsoever of the program's main loop. Is there any way around this, either by adding some sort of stdin input event binding or something similar? Thanks in advance -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
