Hi All, Say I launch a shell under KDE and start typing:
<code> $ python Python 2.4.2 (#10, Feb 16 2006, 17:44:37) [GCC 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7. on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> def fn(a=0,b=0): ... print 'Arguments:',a,b ... >>> from signal import * >>> signal(SIGUSR1,fn) </code> Now, suppose I'm launching a second shell, and typing: <code> $ ps ax ... (cut for brevity) ... 5780 pts/2 S+ 0:00 python 5781 pts/1 R+ 0:00 ps ax $ python Python 2.4.2 (#10, Feb 16 2006, 17:44:37) [GCC 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7. on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from signal import * >>> import os >>> os.kill(5780,SIGUSR1) >>> </code> Now, back in the first shell, after pressing <Enter> once, I get: <code> Arguments: 10 <frame object at 0x817f5a4> </code> Obviously, I put the two args after experimenting without them, and receiving an error: <code> TypeError: fn() takes no arguments (2 given) </code> What is going on here? How should I handle this? Thanks, Sorin Schwimmer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
