Hi all,
is there an easy way to add an application console to a Tkinter program?
For instance, can you embed IDLE into a program such that when a button
is pressed, it pops up a REPL window where the running program can be
examined?
Say, there is a simple program like:
====================
import Tkinter as tk
def runshell():
from idlelib.PyShell import main
main()
root=tk.Tk()
nvar=tk.StringVar(root)
en=tk.Entry(textvariable=nvar)
en.pack()
btn=tk.Button(text="Shell", command=runshell)
btn.pack()
root.mainloop()
====================
I want the button to popup a shell window, and then nvar.get() should
give me whatever is currently written in the entry. The code above does
not work as intended, it pops up a shell, but:
1) I can't reach the variables from the main program, i.e. print(nvar)
gives me a NameError
2) If you click the Shell button twice, it locks up the program, because
main() obviously starts it's own mainloop
