Here's the deal:
I've a dead-simple command-line program I'm using to test things that I
can't (for various reasons) test in the IDE.
Here's a do-nothing subset that shows the idea:
# insanely simply command interpreter
import Commands
import sys
myPrompt = '$> '
# Raw Input doesn't QUITE do what I want in Python Win.
while True:
try:
args = raw_input(myPrompt).strip().split()
except EOFError:
break
cmd = args[0]
print '>%s<' % cmd
print args
As the comment says, when I run this under Python Win, I get an (pretty
sure) Tkinter interface, not a command line, and I don't get my
EOFError when I expect to.
This is something I occasionally need in my Swiss Army Knife. Not
often, but when I need something like this, I need something like THIS
pretty badly, and sometimes I need to run it under PyWin (and under
Linux, Unix, Solaris, and anything else you might name and a few things
I bet you couldn't).
Is there a way to detect that I'm running the the PyWin interpreter so
that I can bypass its raw_input behavior?
Is there a simpler way to do this?
I recall some sample code that did something very much like this (define
a small set of callbacks and execute them from a command-like interface)
but I can't seem to lay my hands on the example.
Thanx
Charles
