Hello, I use an interactive simulator/data plotter called ocean. I get really frustrated using it because it does not have basic readline capabilities like ctrl-a for beginning of line and ctrl-k to kill the rest of the line.
I was thinking this might be easy to add with Python. Do something like start python and then kick off the ocean job and then use something like pexpect to interact with it. I think this would work but there may be an even easier way to do it, maybe directly with popen2. A quick google search lead me to: http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/108287 and shows code: import os f=os.popen('gnuplot', 'w') print >>f, "set yrange[-300:+300]" for n in range(300): print >>f, "plot %i*cos(x)+%i*log(x+10)" % (n,150-n) f.flush() this kind of works but not quite. Windows don't pop open and results of calculations (3+3) don't echo back. Before I started coding, I thought I would ask if a module or examples already exits that do what I want. jr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
