I ended up going with this: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/440554/ seems to feed me new lines of output atleast before the subprocess finishes, with some adjustment of the time delays. I'll guess I'll just be packing winpy into the installer. Or something. -- http://mail.python.org/mailma

I don't know a ton about this, but it seems to work if you use: This.update = another_update (instead of t.update = another_update) after saying This.update = another_update, if you enter This.update, it says , (it's unbound) but if you call t.update(5) it will print: another 5 -- http://mail.pyt
