Folks, I have a newbie question: I am trying to embed Python into my application. While playing around, I noticed that the behavior of the interpreter in the embedded mode differs from the standalone one. Namely, in the standalone mode if I type dir(), I get a list of build-in symbols. In the embedded mode only print(dir()) does that, while just dir() returns silently. Is there a way to intercept the output of dir() (and all other commands) and display them to the user? Here is an example code that illustrates the behavior (the first call to PyRun_SimpleString() returns silently). Many thanks for your future hints,
dir() doesn't print anything, it just returns a list. It's the interactive interpreter that's printing the result, unless it's None. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
