Hi Doug, mabe you will find it easyer to use GladeGen to generate the skeleton of your application rather then coding it yourself. Take a look here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7421 Cheers, Ido Yehieli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Is this idea absurd or will one day our children think that restricting to 7-bit ascii was absurd? Both... this idea will only become none-absurd when unicode will become as prevalent as ascii, i.e. unicode keyboards, universal support under almost every application, and so on. Even if you can

I'm sorry, but i don't see how this will solve the problem? It is exactly the same, only now you've replaced everything in sys except just sys.stdout? At any rate, perhapse the code you will write will be more maintainable if instead of redirecting sys.stdout for some of the code just use a

Re: how to stop info output on screen

more on the subject: your print statments will also be written to that file that sys.stdout directs to, so maybe that wasn't exactly the solution you wanted to hear. ok, not the nicest solution but maybe it will help you anyway: bind sys.stdout at the begining of the program to a file (don't
