I'm importing an extension module created with SWIG. When working with the module interactively in IDLE there should be warning and error messages printed to stderr by the extension module. However, these are not being caught by the IDLE window, they are going directly to the terminal that was used to start IDLE.
Strange, because sys.stderr.write() does print to the IDLE window. I've tried this on Windows and OSX, so it doesn't appear to be a platform issue. Is this just a fundamental deficiency in the IDLE shell prompt? -Brian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
