wxpython: Redirect the stdout to a textctrl

[Alejandro]

Hi:

I want to redirect stdout to a textctrl I have. From what I read in
the wxpython documentation, I can use the wxLogTextCtrl class to do
this. I am doing the following:

class MyGui(gui.MyFrame): #gui.MyFrame generated by wxGlade
def __init__(self, *args, **kwds):
gui.MyFrame.__init__(self, *args, **kwds)
# ... code removed ...
wx.Log_SetActiveTarget(wx.LogTextCtrl(self.text_ct rl_2))
print 'foo' #to test the redirection

if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.App(redirect=wx.LogTextCtrl)
wx.InitAllImageHandlers()
gui = MyGui(None, -1, "")
app.SetTopWindow(gui)
gui.Show()
app.MainLoop()

However, the output instead of going to my textctrl, goes to a new
window named "xwPython: stdout/stderr".

What am I missing?

Give this a try:

<code>

class XPinst(wx.App):
def __init__(self, redirect=False, filename=None):
wx.App.__init__(self, redirect, filename)

def OnInit(self):
self.frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, title='Redirect Test',
size=(620,450),
style=wx.STAY_ON_TOP|
wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE)

panel = wx.Panel(self.frame, -1)

self.log = wx.TextCtrl(panel, -1, size=(500,400),
style = wx.TE_MULTILINE|wx.TE_READONLY|
wx.HSCROLL)
redir=RedirectText(self.log)
sys.stdout=redir
print 'test'

self.frame.Show()
return True

class RedirectText:
def __init__(self,aWxTextCtrl):
self.out=aWxTextCtrl

def write(self,string):
self.out.WriteText(string)

</code>

It worked like a charm! Thanks.

I still don't understand why my initial aproach didn't work as
expected.

Alejandro,

Yeah, I'm not sure what the deal is with your code. But I've never
used the LogTextCtrl widget. You might ask why it doesn't work
directly by posting to the wxPython user's group here:
