Windows embedding problems with stdin and stdout

Hi,

I have Python embedded with my other code, and when my other code opens
a console and redirects stdout, stdin and stderr to it, then calls
PyRun_Interacti veLoop, it immediately returns with an EOF.

After some debugging the reason for this appears to be that the stdin
and stdout that the ReadLine function in the tokeniser include are not
affected by my redirection and refer to a non-terminal so don't stall
waiting for input from my console.

This is the C code, effectively. It should suffice as an
example of what I am doing, although as it is from memory,
it may have minor semantic errors, please ignore them:

/* This goes nowhere because the old stdin and stdout are
no longer valid */
printf("Test\n" );

/* This opens a console and redirects the in, out and err */
AllocConsole();
freopen("CONIN$ ", "r", stdin);
freopen("CONOUT $", "a", stdout);
freopen("CONOUT $", "a", stderr);

/* I've tested stdin, stdout and stderr at this point and they
all work correctly on the opened console window. */
printf("Test stdout working, isatty(stdin) = %d\n",
isatty(fileno(s tdin)));
/* Returns 64 */

/* This call returns immediately. The stdin and stdout when
the code gets to the actual reading, return isatty(fileno(x ))
== 0 and so it uses the non terminal reading. */
PyRun_Interacti veLoop(stdin, "Opened Console");

Can anyone help me? I have no idea how to get Python to adopt
the new stdin, stdout and stderr, but I have to assume it is
pretty straightforward .

Thanks.

Hi, In a project where I have embedded Python in a C++ application, I have the need to replace what Python considers to be stdin, stdout and/or stderr. In sysmodule.c in the Python sources, I find the following lines of code: sysin = PyFile_FromFile(stdin, "<stdin>", "r", NULL);

I want to do a very simple thing in Windows. (Using Python Shell.) I want to write a prompt to sys.stdout and read the user input. (Ideally, without waiting for a newline.) Here are the problems I'm encountering. Newbie problems, no doubt. sys.stdin.read() gives me an attribute error sys.stdin.readline() doesn't block waiting for input. And even if it did, it would block waiting for a newline.

Hi all, I have a consistent test case where os.popen3() hangs in Windows. The system hangs when retrieving the lines from the child process stdout. I know there were several reports related to os.popen3() hanging under Windows in this group before. I stumbled on a case where a piece of code works in some occasions and hangs consistently given different data. It performs exactly the same on 3 different computers running Windows:

When I use os.popen(cmd,'w'), I find that under windows, the stdout of the child process disappears, instead of appearing in the DOS window the script is invoked from. eg: C:\type foo.py import os import sys file = os.popen("nslookup", 'w') file.write("google.com\n") file.close()

I am running on windows XP with a fresh install of wamp5 (1.7.2) and mediawiki. I am trying to call a perl function from within php using proc_open. The perl script is being executed and returns a successful exit value, and I can read the results it prints to STDOUT in PHP, but the perl script does not see STDIN from PHP. Since I want to use the perl script as a filter and I don't want to create an intermediary file, this is problematic....

Hi, I'm extending a windows application (C++) by embedding Python calls. It seems to be a known problem that windows applications detach immediately from the calling console, so that all output to stdout (from both C++ and Python) doesn't get shown anywhere. A workaround seems to be the allocation of a windows console and redirecting stdout to it:
