Thanks, that seems to work.
maybe one more question on this subject:
how can i use the callback function to the "createfilehandler" call from
within a class?
in other words, what would be the signature of the callback function, if
I made it a member of a class?
The documentation says that the callback is called with the arguments:
callback(filehandle, stateMask)
but a class member function always has the "self" argument as is first
argument. So would the syntax be:
class GUI:
def __init__:
.....
def filehandlerCallback(self, filehandle, stateMask):
....
