putting text through pager

Hi, I'm trying to print some variable through a pager (i.e. 'less') on a linux system. My attempt was this: == snip here == import subprocess def put_through_pager(displaystring): less_pipe = subprocess.Popen(\ 'less', shell=True, \ stdin

'normal' shell with curses

Hi, I'm trying to print out text in color. As far as I know, curses is the only way to do that (or not?). So, what I ultimately want is a curses terminal that behaves as closely as possible as a normal terminal, i.e. it breaks lines and scrolls automatically, so that I can implement a function

Raising exception on STDIN read

Hi, I would like to raise an exception any time a subprocess tries to read from STDIN: latexprocess = subprocess.Popen( \ 'pdflatex' + " " \ + 'test' + " 2>&1", \ shell=True, \ cwd=os.getcwd(), \ env=os.environ, \ stdin=StdinCatcher() # any

KeyboardInterrupt should not kill subprocess

Hi, I'm using subprocess.Popen() to run some background processes. However, the program is also supposed to catch CTRL+C keyboard interrupts for refreshs (i.e. a keyboard interrupt doesn't shut down the program). But as it seems, a keyboard interrupt will automatically pass down to the subproc

Hi, I'm writing a command line program that watches a file, and recompiles it when it changes. However, there should also be a possibility of doing a complete clean restart (cleaning up temp files, compiling some dependencies, etc.). Since the program is in an infinite loop, there are limited

converting to and from octal escaped UTF--8

Hi, I am writing unicode stings into a special text file that requires to have non-ascii characters as as octal-escaped UTF-8 codes. For example, the letter "Í" (latin capital I with acute, code point 205) would come out as "\303\215". I will also have to read back from the file later on and con
