hi, I'm a novice programmer trying to better define a hobby project I'm thinking of.
What I would like to do is take a program and embed it or put it within a Python-run GUI, using the GUI just to capture and send input to the application, and display the ouput. Specifically I want to use a Python module such as wxPython, pygame or pyglet to build the UI, capture key presses, and then send a string to the program, an interactive fiction interpreter; the reason for this is that the interpreter on its own doesn't have the capability to recognize certain key presses on the keyboard. I thought that writing a middle layer rather than a brand new interpreter would be easier for someone of my skill level. The interpreter would send its output to the Python GUI. The GUI then would be as light/translucent as possible, just accepting input, sending it to the interpreter, and displaying the output as if you were just running the interpreter by itself. As I don't really know the issues involved, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Do people 'frame' programs with something like wxPython or pygame and use the frame to capture and pass along input, and receive and display the output? thanks, George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
