Hello,
Suppose I want to run from within a Python GUI app some long-output
shell call. For example, from within Python I might want to call
g++ foo.cpp
I already know there are many ways to do this, e.g.,
commands.getstatusoutput('g++ foo.cpp') to name one.
The problem is that this might generate a ton of output (e.g.,
because of compilation errors), and might take a while to do so. In my
GUI, I'd like to print out the output as it's being generated, not wait
until all is done (as commands.getstatusoutput will do) and dump it at
once.
So my question is if there's a way to "grab" the output as it's being
generated. It doesn't matter if the solution is blocking (as opposed to
callback based), since threads can handle this. I just don't know how to
"grab" the output. I appreciate your time in reading (and answering
this), as I've been googling several hours for this.
Many Thanks,
E
