Right. communicate() waits for the subprocess to end, and the
subprocess is still waiting for you to do something. Instead, you'll
need to read() and write() to the subprocess' stdin and stdout
attributes, probably something like this (untested):
def OnClickBtn(self, event):
print('OnClickBtn')
self.subProc.stdin.write('symbolName\n')
print(self.subProc.stdout.read())
It looks like cscope has both a screen-oriented mode and a line-based
mode. When you're working with a subprocess like this, you're going
to want to be in the line-based mode, so you'll probably want to add
-l or -L to your command line.
