emmanuel added the comment: Kevin,
These are good points. I had a cursory look at the python source code and observed the following: - There may also be a concern with stderr (used to print the prompt in PyOS_Readline) - PyOS_Readline has two different definitions in files pgenmain.c and myreadline.c - There is this interesting comment in myreadline.c: /* By initializing this function pointer, systems embedding Python can override the readline function. Note: Python expects in return a buffer allocated with PyMem_Malloc. */ char *(*PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer)(FILE *, FILE *, char *); This pointer is actually used (set it to (void*)1 and the interpreter crashes) so it could offer a means to redirect stdin as we want. For stdout/stderr further investigation is needed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14916> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
