Hi! I'm currently working on a scientific computation software built in python. What I want to implement is a Matlab style command window <-> workspace interaction.
For example, you type 'a=1' in the command window, and you see a list item named 'a' in the workspace. You double click the icon of the item, and you see its value. You can modify the value of the list item, 1 -> 100 etc, after which if you go back to the command window and type 'a' and press enter, you see that varable a's value has been changed to 100. So my question is : if you have two DOS command windows running under WINDOWS OS, how can you make them share the same internal variable buffer? Or is there any easier way to implement such kind of interaction? Maybe I could just build a small database to store all the values and access them from both programs, but chances are sometimes I have to deal with big arrays, and they will eat extra memory if I keep them in a database. Is there anyway to access a shell's local memory buffer? I tried to use shell.interp.locals() in wxPython, but there's too many variables in the list which I don't actually need. Come on guys, give me some ideas. Thanks in advance! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
