Keyboard problems with Python shell over SSH
Hello I'm not sure this is Python-related but it might be since Bash and vim works perfectly. I connect to my server using SSH and then run 'python' to enter the shell. I can't use the arrow buttons (up, down, left and right). Instead I get this ^[[A , ^[[B, ^[[C or ^[[D. How do I get my arrow buttons to work? Sorry if this is offtopic. Nils Emil P.

Hello Stian >Your Python installation is probably compiled without readline support. >It is the readline library that enables arrow keys and Ctrl-R and stuff >to work. >Try "import readline" - you will probably get an error. You are indeed right. "import readline" generated an error. I downloaded, compiled and installed GNU readline. Then I downloaded Python 2.4 source and configured it with ./configure --with-readline make make install This did the trick! Thank you! Nils Emil P.

Comm. between Python and PHP
Hello I'm building a daemon in Python. It will measure and control some physical devices on a serial bus. Since it is a daemon, it will never terminate and I can't interfere with the regulation of the devices by using command line parameters. I want to control the regulation by using a Internet browser. What is the easiest way to make my threaded Python daemon communicate with a PHP-script running from Apache2 on localhost? Thank you so far! Nils Emil P.

Re: Comm. between Python and PHP
Hello Sorry for not being too exact in my request! >If the data you want to pass is structured then you might consider >XML-RPC which is a cross platform way of passing structured data XML-RPC looks like something very suitable for my needs. It seems Python handles the remote procedure calls very easily (almost like local functions). It also works quite well in PHP. I didn't recompile anything but downloaded Keith Devens XML-RPC Library (500 lines code). With this I can call RPC-functions almost as easily as with Python. It took me just about an hour to get it working... Thanks everybody! Nils Emil P. Larsen -- My reply-address is valid. www.bios-flash.dk Min svar-adresse er gyldig.
