ncurses programming
hi, i want to use ncurses library in python i`ve found proper library for that, PyNcurses. then i searched for some documentation about ncurses programming, i only found that web site ; http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Programming-HOWTO/ this howto is nice but seems to me, this is for experienced ncurses programmers who have just migrated to python so i dont understand anything from examples and howto. what should i do ? firstly should i learn ncurses programmin on C then migrate to python? thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

need help about time.sleep, timer
hello, i need a function like that, wait 5 seconds: (during wait) do the function but function waits for keyboard input so if you dont enter any it waits forever. i tried time.sleep() but when i used time.sleep in while, the function in while never executed. then i found something about Timer but couldnt realize any algorithm in my mind. i`ll use the function like remote controller. as you know in remote controllers, tv waits you for second number input. if you dont press any, executes the first number that you have entered. thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

re and escape character
i re-format incoming messages like this,
command = re.findall("^\002(.{2})\|.*\003$", response)[0]
it works well but when response comes with escape characters , my
command variable crashes,
i cannot parse if response variable is like ,
response = '\002AB|TIasdasdasd
asdasdasd
xzczxc
qwewer
werwer|\003'
ps:there must be \002 at the start and \003 at the end.
thanks.

make a video from xwd output

popen and password entry
hello,
i want to use rsync for remote file transfer via popen, but couldnt pass the
Password yet.
here`s what i did
cmd = 'rsync -av config [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/.'
f = os.popen(cmd,'w')
f.write('1234')
#not worked
f.write('1234\n')
#not worked
every time i see "Password:" line, then i tried popen2
st_out, st_in = popen2.popen2(cmd)
st_in.write('1234')
#not worked
st_in.write('1234\n')
#not worked again
i got bored to see "Password:" line every time and did st_out.close() to not
to see stdout messages from rsync, but even this did not work.
also i tried popen3() function same way.
what should i do?
Thanks.

i put while True: before top of line, i=child.expect() . it worked, the file has gone but also it goes into loop with many EOF result, i tried the os.waitpid() function with child.pid but didnt help me. still couldn`t get the problem. thanks for help On Thursday 15 June 2006 12:04, Ganesan Rajagopal wrote: > Ah, got it.
