Re: [pygtk] A question for Python Gurus
zvt supports ANSI colour escape sequences. If you pass the escape
sequences to the zvt widget, it will render them correctly. There should
be lots of docs on this somewhere on the net.

Ok, then how does one tell zvt to do the coloring! The API docs say
yes you can, but not how afaik.
Looking at the functions in zvt.py didn't help me either!
In any case, whatever one chooses, what I'd like to understand (if
it is possible for me to do so) is how raw_input works or any other
input thing! To be precise I'd love to pass input through a filter
before displaying it! Which function does that, which method? Do I
need to use something other than raw_input but can mimic it?
Thanks again

Of course you can redirect stdin like this:
sys.stdin = open("whatever")
Or just define a class providing the needed methods (python will
complain about what is missing...) and assign an instance to
sys.stdin.
Maybe you can use zvt to do the coloring, but then its not the python
program which does that, what I thought was what you wanted.

Re: [pygtk] A question for Python Gurus
I am still learning python, however in 'Learning Python' they give an example about how to redefine the print function using sys.stdout methods and say one can do the same with sys.stdin. So I thought it might be easy! Looks like no, or maybe I need to contact one of the authors and beg them to give an example!

Re: [pygtk] A question for Python Gurus
Ok, Can someone please explain how to use and what is it one uses match_add in zvt.py. It looks like some highlight mask but I can't figure the syntax. What is regex? I mean can I use something like '\wdef\w', but then what is highlight mask?? Does it solve my problem below?! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original Message <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< On 11/6/99, 11:57:31 AM, Andreas Degert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote regarding Re: [pygtk] A question for Python Gurus: > Hassan Aurag <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Hi, > > > > My question is simple but I can't yet answer it myself.

[pygtk] A question for Python Gurus
Hi, My question is simple but I can't yet answer it myself. I am still at the point where I use 'Learning Python'. Ok, so I have a terminal and I want to catch the input, and I am not talking about raw_input. I am talking about sys.stdin It seems one can override sys.stdout and sys.stdin to redefine in the first case the print method and the second case the read method. The problem is I don't know how to use them. My goal is to color input depending on text input, eg: in 'def f(x): return x' I want def and return to be colored. I know how to color the string, but I don't know how to make sys.stdin color it! Same thing for sys.stdout where I want it in some cases to format the stuff in some way! Any help is appreciated, and please a small example, like def read(): return whatever Also, my app is a child process of a zvt (done by fork). Now from whithin the app I want to call a parent's method (in this case, get _size or something to get size of terminal) and since people can resize the terminal I want it to be checked dynamically. How do I do this? Do I get the pid of parent and call its method like: getppid().getsize() or something? Thank you for your time H. Aurag To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
