python+windows/linux -> write stdout text to always on top text?

[flamesrock]

Hi,

I'm curious if theres a way in python to write stdout text to the
screen (ie top right) the way they do in some FPS games, so that its
always on top, in an invisible window of some set dimensions. No matter
what program is on top.

Is there a way to make it cross platform?

I've looked but nothing seems to turn up on the subject.

-thanks in advance.

Why would you want to do that ?

I understand you wish to reroute stdout to some object than can write to a
window - correct ?

If so, this is what I do with tkinter ....
class SC_Log_Stdout:
#************************************************* ******************************
def __init__(self, p_log_text):
self.__m_log_text = p_log_text #graphics object - would be your game
engine I guess
#************************************************* ******************************
def write(self,p_string):
try:
except:
pass

..
..
..
..
..
..
sys.stdout = SC_Log_Stdout(.....) #reroute stdout
..
..
..
#launch your game
