converting to and from octal escaped UTF--8

Hi, I am writing unicode stings into a special text file that requires to have non-ascii characters as as octal-escaped UTF-8 codes. For example, the letter "Í" (latin capital I with acute, code point 205) would come out as "\303\215". I will also have to read back from the file later on and con

Catching a non-Exception object (KeyboardInterrupt)

Hi, when I try to catch ctrl+c with except KeyboardInterrupt: pychecker tells me Catching a non-Exception object (KeyboardInterrupt) It works fine, but the message indicates that it's not completely clean. How should I write the exception correctly? Thanks, Michael -- http://mail.python.o

Exception on keypress

Hi, I'm writing a command line program that watches a file, and recompiles it when it changes. However, there should also be a possibility of doing a complete clean restart (cleaning up temp files, compiling some dependencies, etc.). Since the program is in an infinite loop, there are limited

KeyboardInterrupt should not kill subprocess

Hi, I'm using subprocess.Popen() to run some background processes. However, the program is also supposed to catch CTRL+C keyboard interrupts for refreshs (i.e. a keyboard interrupt doesn't shut down the program). But as it seems, a keyboard interrupt will automatically pass down to the subproc

Raising exception on STDIN read

Hi, I would like to raise an exception any time a subprocess tries to read from STDIN: latexprocess = subprocess.Popen( \ 'pdflatex' + " " \ + 'test' + " 2>&1", \ shell=True, \ cwd=os.getcwd(), \ env=os.environ, \ stdin=StdinCatcher() # any

'normal' shell with curses

Hi, I'm trying to print out text in color. As far as I know, curses is the only way to do that (or not?). So, what I ultimately want is a curses terminal that behaves as closely as possible as a normal terminal, i.e. it breaks lines and scrolls automatically, so that I can implement a function
