Redirecting I/O in embedded Python

Hi,

in one of my C programs, I call embedded Python code. Now, I
would like to redirect stdin/stdout to strings I can assign
to/read out within the C code.

This should be a solvable problem creating modules that have
a member function 'write' or 'readline' respectively and
assigning them to sys.stdin and sys.stdout.

Before I do this work, I would like to ask if there is a
reported standard way to do it or if there is even the
finished code to be obtained anywhere on the web.

Thanks in advance,

Bertram

Put the library reference under your pillow tonight, and read the
sections on stringio and cstringio in the morning.

Yes, I did already think of that solution. But compared to
that mentioned above, it wouldn't be less effort in
programming for me, but rather a loss in efficiency I
suppose. (Additional modules would be loaded and strings
would be copied once more.)

Thank you, anyway.

I have a python script that uses the print function throughout, and as well uses calls to os.system() to spawn DOS commandline executables. My issue is that I redirect all of the output from this script to a file (including that which is printed by the spawned programs) via the redirect (">") function on a Win2K Command Prompt. In the captured output however, the output from the os.system() calls ALWAYS comes before the output from the...

Hi list, My ultimate goal is to have a small HTTP proxy which is able to show a message specific to clients name/ip/status then handle the original request normally either by redirecting the client, or acting as a proxy.

It works quite well if I configure my client to use it, but using iptables...

Hi everybody, let me explain by problem: I am working on an application which consists in a C++ dll (numeric computations) and a Python IHM (Python/Tk), which must run under Linux and win32. My problem is the C++ lib does write stuffs on its stdout, and I would like to print those messages in a Tk frame. When I run the computation, it has it's own thread. So my question is : how van I redirect the dll's stdout to something I can

Hello, I'm trying to redirect standard out in a single namespace. I can replace sys.stdout with a custom object - but that affects all namespaces. There will be code running simultaneously that could import sys afterwards - so I don't want to make the change in the sys module.

Is there a Python packaging that is specifically for embedded systems? ie, very small and configurable so the user gets to select what modules to install? For Linux-based embedded systems in particular? I'm thinking of running it on the Linksys's Linux-based open source router WRT54G. It has 4MB flash and 16MB RAM. I think another model has 16MB flash. Any possibilities of running Python on these systems?

I am embedding Python in a MSVC++ (2005) application. The application creates some environment and then launches a Python script that will call some functions exported from the MSVC++ application. I want to be able to debug the Python script by using a debug server, like Winpdb (winpdb.org). I use ActivePython 2.5.2.2, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and Winpdb 1.3.8.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
