Hello, I would like access to a hook inside Python that would allow me to register a C++ function to be called periodically during the evaluation of a Python script.
Does any such thing exist today in Python? I poked around but didn't find anything. I want to do this for interrupt handling. I'd like to be able to interrupt long running Python commands. I have a hook which would throw a C++ exception if an interrupt is detected. I would then catch this at the place where my application which embeds Python invokes a Python command. My hook is written to be very fast, so calling it every Python instruction would not be that bad in terms of performance. I'd like to avoid changing the existing Python implementation, which is why I'm looking for a hook. Otherwise, a user would not be able to substitute in their own Python implementation if they so desire instead of taking the default on our app uses. Thanks for the ideas. -William -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
